Just fyi,
It appears Stanford has released a new beta smp core or something and the notfred usb/cd will stop working after it completes it's current work unit. notfred (don't know his real name) has said that he will try to get an update out with the new name/location of the core so things start working again.

In the mean time, you might want to keep an eye on your folding machines that are using the notfred usb/cd and just shut them down when they stop folding. At least until the update comes out. if your system was setup and running without being shutdown, it may continue to run at least until the old core expires, this could be another month or more. If however you are like me and shut your system down to change ram and turn it back on, it will not find the core to download because it is looking in the old location.

Stanford has managed to create a huge distributed network in spite of itself. You would think they could at least give notfred and others that develop helper applications a 24-36hr notice that they were changing things.

In the spirit of competition, my 3rd. q6600 folding node (not counting my main rig) should be delivered by fedex today Grin
