Hi!

There has been some problems with my internet connection, and I don't expect my
ADSL connection to be as stable as a proper internet connection.

To solve this problem I've updated the client and added buffering of problems
and results. The client tries to have a minimum of 25 problems in buffer (about
4 hours of work for a really fast computer), results are also buffered. The
client will never stop trying to get connection again so if the problem buffer
is empty to client will try to get new problems, when server is back online it
get problems/send results. The new client has an improved GUI with some new
stats and buffer info.

I hope that this will work better and that my internet connection will be more
stable from now on.

On the positive side, despite all the interrupts and that it is the first 24
hours the project has completed more than 5% of the problem, I guess that
probably means that about 10% will be completed the next 24 hours.

If you still haven't joined the project goto:
