Rosetta@Home gets 100+ of PCs a day and the TFlop estimate keeps staying and sometimes it even drops?!

Why?

---

This is most likely due to the fact that so many people abandon the project after a few days.

Volunteer abandonment has been a topic on these boards in the past and we have yet to find a solution. We blame the abandonment rate on several factors that include lack of project team participation on these message boards and the many bugs we experience in the R@H work units.

None of us has the magic answer but the good news is that the Tflop estimate is slowly increasing. I think we were in the 40s at the beginning of the year. I don't track this stat very closely, I just try to get R@H running on every computer I meet.

Thanks for crunching
