    I am up and running without glitches in SETI. Am attempting to download Einstein and after several hours of finally downloading a mere 20%, SETI kicked in and, it appears, wiped out that 20%. How can I prevent this so an uninterrupted and full download of Einstein occurs? Also, is this slow download indicative of not enough computer power? I have 4 CPU and approx. 2.8 ghz.

    Thanks for help--

      Seti shouldn't have affected your download.

      As for the slow download, your initial WU will be in the neighborhood of 10MB in size, which can take a while if you're on dial up. Best case scenario, multiple WUs will be created from this one large file, and you won't need to download another for a while. Worst case scenario, you'll download another 10MB file right away.
