Nope, can't do that. I assume you're talking about the PS3. You can however delete your FAH client and redownload it, there's no guarantee that the servers won't just give you another 30 hour one.

My suggestion is to just go ahead and run it, at night while you sleep. If you take too long (about 2 weeks for the big ones) then the FAH servers will tell your PS3 that the WU is expired, your PS3 will delete it, and you'll get a new one. You can never send them anything that won't matter.

If you don't like to get big ones in the future don't turn on the "advanced" settings. No guarantees though. My PC usually gets WUs that take it's P4 3.4, 3 days non-stop to complete. But the expiration dates are usually 1-2 months.

Cool, thanks for the info.

saprano · 08-12-2008, 08:06 PM

Anybody have any updated info on when this is being released?

Entertainment72 · 08-12-2008, 08:09 PM

The second week of never.

Amon37 · 08-12-2008, 08:24 PM

I'm going to guess at the Leipzig conference. Which is Aug 20-24.

caliblue15 · 08-13-2008, 10:40 PM

I'm 137th now, I might hit top 100 in 2 months.

Dang. I wish I were that high. Just ran 2 more WU last night and I'm up to 286 now. I think I'll shoot for 250 for now - that should be achievable

It's awesome that the team is so high though. Makes me proud to be a member

caliblue15 · 08-13-2008, 11:43 PM

I just started in..... I believe May... I was on other teams before that, and

I'm rated at 16,000 out of 1,048,000. So I think i'm doing my part.

The team is also up to #85 if you take out the aggregate its #81.

Where do you see what number you're ranked as? Also they should patch F@H to have trophies! then maybe i would actually use it!

caliblue15 · 08-14-2008, 02:35 PM

press triangle and go to my statistics. Yeah they better be retroactive, otherwise I would be POed.

If they weren't retro, a lot of people would be PO'ed. how long you been F@H?

caliblue15 · 08-14-2008, 04:31 PM

F@H, on computer since August 2006, (stopped since I got ps3).
PS3 has been folding since August 2007, on the team since May 2008.

It's hard/impossible for them to be retro since many people also Fold on their computers though, and I don't think there is a way for them to seperate out which WU were completed on a PS3 and which ones on a computer.

well if they did just patch it for trophies, i would use it ALOT more.

Seeking_Alpha · 08-14-2008, 06:44 PM

It'll be no big deal for me if they weren't retroactive.

People shouldn't lose sight of what folding really is for. It's not about stupid points, teams, or trophies.

aphex · 08-14-2008, 06:52 PM

I think i'm ranked in the 60's for our team :X

If I hook up my 2nd ps3 to folding will it add to this? Or can only one psn id be on at a time

I believe as long as both are logged in with the same PSN it will still count.

Agreed.

Gamekid · 08-15-2008, 04:38 PM

I was just wondering how folding@home is doing at this time? Last I checked, very well. How many ps3's are folding at this time?

dereksworl · 08-15-2008, 04:40 PM
