Title: The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 available for Windows
Post by: kashi on November 10, 2010, 02:28:31 AM
The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 (CEP2) is now available for Windows and Mac. More info here (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=144)

I'm doing a few tasks now. May do a few more after I get my Clean Water gold badge. My first one completed without error in about 10 hours after reaching about 82%. Would have taken about 12 hours if it had run to 100%.

The initial download is currently over 200MB and takes a long time, so this sub project would probably not be suitable for anyone with a slower internet connection.

You need to adjust your Device Profile Preferences if you want to download more than 1 task at once or if your BOINC network speed is too low. If you are interested perhaps use default Project Specific Settings at first to try one task and see how you go.

I will give it a go as I have more a large cap that I never go over and a good connection.  Haven't been to their web sitye since they changed it it looks much easier to get around.  They are updating the stats at the moment so I will have to wait a while.

Me too. Muhahaha ... I'll have my bronze badge by morning. Missed it by 4 hours tonight.  :faint:
Huge files and load load times. Only people with a lot of bandwidth are going to like it.
