I spent like hundreds of hours of pc time on it. I didn't like that they changed their underlying engine to Bionicle, I too think its very confusing. I haven't been heloing out since, but perhaps its time to start again :) Kislay, why is this a waste of time? You can set it to only run when the pc is idle, so it won't take up your CPU while working and its sort os set and forget. I used to watch the cool visuals for ages though :) Ah, I used to love the seti@home project so much. I spent like hundreds of hours of pc time on it.
