I can't seem to figure out why I've stopped! The last unit to complete would not upload and after deleting / reinstalling everything to do with folding, I can't download a unit. I get the following message in FAHLog:

Gee, what on earth is going on. This is as far as it got;

Nothing since. NO progress. Does anyone have a clue? For reference, I'm running on a 2.8GHz iMac (1 year old), OS X 10.5.6, 4GB RAM. I'm using InCrease to run / monitor FAH. My 3 year old MBP 2.0GHz 2GB RAM, same OS is running InCrease / Folding just fine (although quite slow).

BTE, How many invocations of "FahCore_a1_exe" should I be running with this iMac? Activity Monitor shows 4, But, I think it should be 2. One Core 2 Duo processor, 2 cores, Right?

I don't see anything wrong with the portion of the log you included. It is not uncommon for the client to try to send units while working on the next protein.

In the header of the FAHlog.txt, be sure it doesn't say that the client is expired.
