Just get a copy of the program Seti Driver and the cli exe file and
that is all you need. Put them both in the same directory and run Seti
Driver. It will start the cli file and ask for some info intitially,
like are you a new or returning user, you are a returning one, you do
need to set the "desired cache size" to at least 1, so it will
retrieve a work unit and start processing. After a few seconds it will
connect to Berkeley, by default, or anywhere else you tell it thru the
"proxy server" section. And then you are processing work units. If you
put a check in the boxe for "auto connect" and do not put a check in
the "display transmit" box you will never even know it is running and
doing stuff unless you check out the icon down in the tray. The icon
will be blue for everything okay, yellow for connecting, and black for
needs input.
I would suggest a cache size of a few days because of possible
internet interruptions either on your end or Berkeleys.
As for switching back and forth between programs, Seti will run in the
background and you never need to do anything to it. It will take all
the extra cpu cycles your machine has but give them up when other
programs need them just as quickly.

OK...So tell me. How do I go about using the command line version, and what
are the implications? Is it a hassle to go to Seti and back to a program?
Does seti still run continuously? Anything I should know about the basic
differences from a user standpoint?

I have several computers running SETI, but my 2.5GHz averages 2hr -
56min. / unit.

Just a quick question.
Just picked up a new computer
Pentium 4, 2.66ghz, Windows xp.
When I run WUs, it takes on the average
of 21 to 24 hrs to complete.This seem a bit slow to me.
Although, the other machine is 200 mhz, Windows 95 and it
can take 60+hrs to complete a unit.
So, is the pentium 4 in the ball park with
regards to process time ?
Thx................
My is Pentium4 2.4ghz with DDR333
It takes average 4hrs10min to finish one unit.
I am using windows version without showing the graphics
(run in background)
