Just a note to say that the SETI@home software has been updated to version 1.05. Get it here: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ This is what's new: General Updates: <ul> [*]Hardware/server upgrades: We are now able to generate and serve higher volumes of work units. [*]SETI@home now supports proxies on ports other than 80. [*]Memory leaks (which were harmless) have been diagnosed and cleaned up. [*]The progress bar now reaches exactly 100% when done with a work unit. [*]Both Windows and Mac now support 640x480 resolution, BUT the graphics will run off the sides of the screen. [*]New telescope icon. [*]Nicer error messages for network problems. [/list] Windows Updates: <ul> [*]The CPU time in version 1.05 won't report negative results (this was happening when people changed the date/time in the windows control panel while SETI@home was running). [*]The "Recorded on" date is now correctly reporting based on GMT and not local time - when updating from an old version to 1.05 you may notice the current work unit's time jump a few hours - this bug was only present in the display and not the science. [*]Selecting "exit" on the desktop SETI@home window no longer kills the client - to kill the client you must right-click on the icon in the system tray on select "exit." [*]Default runtime priorities have been adjusted. [*]New installs do not reset previous blanking/minutes setting. [*]Analysis now gets turned off if disk defragmenter process is on. [/list] Mac Updates: <ul> [*]SETI@home is now completely compatible with FreePPP. [*]The Apple Menu now works properly. [*]Screensaver activates properly even if user has collapsed SETI@home main window with WindowShade feature. [*]Improved support for systems with multiple graphics cards/monitors. [*]Graphics code has been optimized - 32-bit color mode now runs faster, as does screen blanking mode. [*]Client now waits only 15 minutes to retry network errors (but still waits 60 minutes for server errors). [*]Fixed many small defects. For more details, see the release notes. [/list]
