Yep, it's true, The One is back on top of the pile and has reclaimed the number one ranking within the folding team.  Ever since BT stopped blocking OB-wan's connection to the Stanford servers again recently, his army of borged machines (included the much heralded 'Turbo Nutter B*?tard' PC) have been churning out the points faster than SPECS cameras.

w2g Oldbloke - nice to see you back in action again with a truly unbelievable folding rate of almost 3,000 points per week  :blink:  

:worship:

bah! no fun.

I've hit the limit of 24 machines that can be borged here.

How many do you have Oldie?

I gotta admit to having no idea what's going on here.

I borged about 6 PCs at work (including a dual Xeon 2.4) that were ripping out WUs for me until TPTB saw fit to block the route back to Stanford. So I could get WUs and process them but couldn't return them.

Having exhausted all workarounds I removed the FAH client and just folded from home.

Now I thought I'd removed the client from all the work PCs but obviously I couldn't have as the stats show a large influx of WUs from me.

I suspect that a couple of boxes are still running the client and that due to a temporary hole in the firewall, were able to upload all finished units in their queue.

Still investigating ...  :eyebrow:

Well whatever it was appears to have stopped (again) as your folding rate has dropped sharply from turbo nutter b*stard levels of more than 2,500 points per week and is currently down to a more residential 54 points per day over the last 24 hours.  So much so that I nicked the lead back from you :P
