Folding@Home Client Shutdown at user request.

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.

Any ideas?
 
Here is what to do.

  • Shut down the F@H client
  • Go to the folder F@H is installed
  • Delete Queue.dat file
  • Delete Work Folder
  • Delete unitinfo.txt
  • Restart F@H Client
 
171.64.65.54 is the correct server for SMP work.
Server load may be high or the server is still processing all the new units that were just released.

It may take a few tries to get a work unit but there are plenty available now.
 
No A3 shortage here ... been getting them steadily all week.
