F@h is stuck!

I've been having problems with F@h last few days. I completed a 10,000 frame work unit,(1st time I've seen one that big) but then I didn't get credit for it. After finishing it, my completed units # did not go up. Then it downloaded a small work unit, which I also finished. Now it has been stuck on "attempting to send results" for the last 2 days.

[DrinkOrDie]

UPDATE: F@h is now working on a new unit, and it appears I have credit for another work unit completed. It looks like it is not stuck anymore.

Sometimes the servers that accept completed WU's have a lil trouble. Server status can be checked @ http://fah-web.stanford.edu/serverstat.html

[DrinkOrDie]

That has to be it. F@h now says "status - Number of work units completed: 53". Seems it has caught up and I finally got credit for those missing work units. And, it is working on another as we speak.

[DrinkOrDie]

Is there any way to tell which of those servers my client is using? Also, if it's having trouble for 2 days, why doesn't it just try a different server?

EDIT: Ooops, sorry about the double-posting of my signature. I wish that option to "show signature" was OFF by default. I keep forgetting to uncheck it.

[jm1647]

AFAIK there is no way to tell what server you are going to upload too. There are assignment servers that give out WU's and collection servers that you send them back to.

Well done to the little team that could!

I've read this page where it gives instructions on how to run F@H on dual-core systems. It basically says to use the system tray version, and then copy/paste the installed folder (eg. copy "C:\Program Files\Folding@home" to "C:\Program Files\Folding@home2") and then run another instance of F@H (so 2 system trays) with a different machine ID. Will this work?
