New SETI CMD line client not working with SETIHide?

[Bizkitkid2001]

I downloaded the new seti cammand line client with the security fix. I deleted my seti folder, then i installed the cmd line client first. Then I move my setihide .exe file into the fold and double clicked it to install, install was successful but seti hide will not open up the cmd line client. Have they not released a version of setihide that is compatible with v3.08 of the seti cmd line?

I checked the Setihide site, and their doesn't seem to be any updates..

Did you start the command-line client first, to log in and download the first wu? Then close the window and start sethide?

You know, I looked at that site and I think that 3.08 is the screensaver version. Oh, I see it now. Let us know how it works.

I tried it and couldn't get it to work ether..
will have to wait and see if they update setihide..

I've posted on the SetiHide forum and awaiting response.


Looks as if the cure is worse than the disease!

Reports of slower results: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/bb/bb3/index.cgi

I made a post on Cruncher's Corner and also e-mailed the guy who found the problem with the client that caused the change.

I'm just going to leave things as they are until this gets solved.

Do everything from scratch new client and setihide. Start with an empty folder and add stuff just like first time.

Well, that didn't work!

[Bizkitkid2001]

Yep i tried that too

[Scavenger7]

well i got it to work..


You have to enter the client name yourself..

just enter this in your setting under client name.

setiathome-3.08.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe

i posted a pic.

I tried that but couldn't get it to work. Maybe I typed it in wrong Will go try it again.

[Bizkitkid2001]

Well it works, but only if you have the cammand line client shown. If you click the X button is will stop the crunching. It use to be able to hide the cammand client so you won't see it.

[RampageIII]

Clicking "X" has always closed it for me. Change your setting to invisible and minimize it. Don't forget to put setihide in your Startup list.

Got it running on Win98, now to see if it's faster or slower.

Thanks Scavenger!

[Bizkitkid2001]

Nope, the seti cammand line client box still has to be open

[Scavenger7]

hmm. don't understand.. Have it running perfect now..


Did you start the client hidden..

shut down the client useing status on the main screen, and then select start client hidden.

have included a pic.

I'd advise anyone thinking of changing over to backup the old client. I see they have removed 3.03 from the download list.

I'm just running the new one for a bit to see if there is a performance hit.

Here's a ftp site for new client:
