Anyone using SETI@Home/Boinc?


I'm considering it, as I have a computer that runs 24/7, and which I rarely actually sit at. But I want to know if there are any known stability issues or other considerations.

I was running it a couple of years ago with no known issues. It just sits and runs and stays out of the way. They've been at this a long time, so the code is stable.

I'll second Quakeboy02's comments - I've been running it since 4ever, and never an issue.

cheers,
