I stopped doing that a long time ago. I've been running Folding@HOME for a
while now.

Innocent in *this* case. I don't like a number of things about SETI@home.
It is only marginally more useful than a yet another keyspace brute force
crack by distributed.net

I hope they'll release the sources sometime soon (it's based on TINKER).
Meanwhile, here's some theory of what your box is actually doing:

I suggest anyone who's still running SETI@home switch over to this new
project. Btw, team extropy.com is rank #83 right now. If a number of you
people join we should be easily able to make top #25. It's all elite, and
stuff, so just do it, okay?
