I finished one work unit, but my system has been "attempting to get work packet" for the last few days. I wonder how long it'll take until I get a new one.

I would say it has either broken or like lyn said the servers playing up or your computer is, keep on trying thats my only advice sorry......

just wanted to add that i completed my 1st work unit, lol not much of an achievement but oh well... o yeah and how come im not on the team sheet on the folding website LOL.....

Congrats on your first work unit!

Yeah, it takes a little while to register a finished work unit, but you're on the team page now. I see you there. Good job.

Lol, it still hasn't gotten a new work unit. Im in last place now

Thanks MCW....
O Yeah just checked,sorry for moaning, and thanks MCW for checking .....
The team is now 6,972nd out of 63,975....

Lol i really dont no whats wrong are you folding on a computer or a PS3???
i just think its probably bust or cant get a connection maybe..... sorry i cant be more help.....

Still nothing? That stinks, huh?

I wish I could help you fix the issue (If you're still having one), but it sounds like you've tried everything logical. But I do wonder if you could reinstall the last firmware update somehow, and if that would help the problem. It would overwrite and reinstall the folding update perhaps...

In other news, I just checked and saw that our team is now sitting pretty with a score of 5843 (Subject to change in ten minutes ). That is great to see!

The team is doing great now, good work

I dont know how im ever going to catch up with MCW and Lyndon, also i came on the other day thinking i would be 3rd place and Jim-B had progressed 5 work units , anyway im just completing my 7th...

O yeah and the number 1 folding team in the world has something like 4 million work units completed , i think there should be a seperate league for just PS3 donators so we have a chance...anyway....

Good work

Sheesh ! i fold all day on weekends but on weekdays i only fold for about 3 hours so i really am not going to catch up with you guys lol , 5812th, we are doing well, well done..

Yeah didnt think they would, oh well...
And welcome to TwIzTD, ive just noticed aswell, and i like your name lol glad to have you aboard

welcome to the folding team TwIzTD.

Welcome to the folding team majik_AP and jrs2088

Hey, recently the old PS3 has been playing up, freezing and disconnecting, i found out that this was because of my game resistance, whenever i tried to play it the PS3 would freeze and not unfreeze for a long time..

It took me a while to find the source of the problem, in that time i had enterd folding when the system froze, i had nearly finished a wu and i had to turn it off so i lost the wu....

I recently completed my 12th wu after twice losing a wu (i should be on 14), so on ma PS3 it says ive completed 12 wu but on our team page it says ive completed 13!!! am i missing something ....

Does anyone no why and is it usual when trying to play a broke game it will affect the system for around an hour afterwards ??????

Anyway, ive sorted the PS3 and it now plays evry game (except the broke resistance), and runs without freezing beautifally.... Id just like some advice and knowledge on what has been happening lately ??? ..anyone???

Ignore that post that was a little while ago before i found the problem, sorry....

I will be adding to our team once again when ma new PS3 comes....
Lyndon 100+wu damnnnn....

Yeah thats completely normal, some folds only take 5 hours and are bigger folds and give you more points. But some folds will take around 7-8 hours even though they're smaller and give you less points. Its confusing i know. .

Anyway all of mine have took around that long, its completely normal. It even says on the PS3 faQ part of the folding website, if you wanna take a look.

Welcome to the team Jason.....

It is a little strange, yes, but it is an improvement over what it used to be. Before a recent firmware update, it took much longer to fold a "Work Unit" than it does now.

You don't have to do it all in one day though, you can do it for three hours, stop, come back the next day for four hours, etc. I prefer to do it that way, and you don't lose your current position.

No problem.
Yeah its early days for folding on the PS3 so some things are bound to be a little strange really.

Yeah there have been a lot of helpful improvements.
And yeah i normally dont do it in all in one day, maybe 2 or 3 hours in the evening on weekdays, usually. At the weekends i will fold for most of the day though. Just make sure you dont leave it for around 5 days i once did that and i lost the wu i was working on. Lol

That would be so much easier if it only took that long or you could run it in the background. But i dont think this will happen as from what i've heard its pretty complex stuff, and not likely to change. We can hope though right.....

It can take up too 2 hours to update any changes you've made on the PS3 onto the website, so maybe it just hasnt had time to update yet.
