52. Not to rain on your parade, but,
I had the program installed on my computer for about 2 weeks but ended up deleting it and putting BOINC on which is running the climate prediction program. I took off Folding@home because it never said it had run all the network checks, or words to that effect. It was constantly trying to access the internet and then NOT doing anything. I specifically installed a firewall just so I could find out which program was doing all the dialing and yes, it was Folding@home. Granted the graphics were cool and I'm a Biology major but come on, that software is too buggy and there was no real help in the online forums. Maybe after the climate prediction runs, in 4851 hours, I will check back and see how many updates Folding@Home has had and maybe try them out again. BTW, I'm also running Seti@Home in a dual configuration and have never had a problem with BOINC or any of their embedded clients.
