That means it's working fine. That 0 means the progress out of 100%.

is it determined by my PC's Speed or my Internet Speed, because both are lame......

The amount of time it takes to complete a WU, is dependent on the speed of your CPU. My old P4 1.8GHz finishes one WU every week. Or about every 5 days.

Nvidia cards cannot fold. Only ATI. A cheap good folding GPU now, is the x1950pro or x1950xt.

$43 more up front, but with a $30 MiR.

I still need to time my WU's to see how many I'm getting... since I still can't get the SMP client to work
