Hello I am new to S.E.T.I. I have downloaded the screensaver.

The CLI(Command Line Interface) is faster, but what you have works.

I have been scanning/decoding signals for 36mins.My source is Arecibo Radio
Observatory. I have read information on the website (below)

Yea everbody gets the stuff from Berkeley and that is where they get
theirs.

http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu

The information says that i should only let the program run for 5 mins
although so far i have let it run over 35mins.

I don't understand, 5 min?

Please can someone answer my frustrated questions:

WE will all try to be helpful.

How long does it take to finish?
Depends on the angle of the work unit, the speed of your processor and
alot on whether you use the machine for other things. My wifes machine
just got 1/2 hour added because she found a new game online!

Can I pause the program?
I don't remember, I think if you just stop the screen saver the
program stops but maybe not.

Will this consumme all of my computers hard drive space?

Not at all. I use the CLI and the whole directory that Seti is in is
only 4.21 meg and that includes a couple of zip files for a couple of
add-ons.

Thanks in advance.

No problem.
