I've attached to the project. Thought I would see how I get on.

Standby for an exciting time Janos :bounce:
I don't think I can manage to adequately describe the incredible joy of watching the WU Prop progress bar slowly count along while your life continues as normal.
It's almost like there is nothing you can actually do to make WU Prop run any better or faster ;)

WUprop itself is a useful project as it collates info on different projects, run times, points etc on a host computer. The units are monitoring the other units on the host it is running on. It gives out cool badges. :D
There is no way to make it run faster. More hosts is the only way to increase your score.
Go to your account on WUProp and you will see what I mean about total hours spent running etc.

I'm not a huge fan of hamsters but I clearly need to get some!

I suppose these results show who has boxes and who has gpu's - I would really like more of both :D
