SetiDriver is a graphical add-on that allows you to cache Work Units (WUs) so that an internet connection is not required all of the time.


>>>Download<<<



The first time you run SetiDriver you will see the above, you must tell it where your CLI Seti client is located at on your computer.




You must either create a new account or sign into an existing one. It will ask you a few questions then download your first work unit and start processing it.




  1. Maximum Processes - Sets how many instances of Seti that will be run.
  2. Desired Cache Size - Tells SetiDriver how many work units to store on your hard drive so that you can continue crunching even if you are unable to connect to the server.
  3. Current Cache Size - Shows how many work units are currently stored locally (including one currently being processed)
  4. Processing - Tells how many work units are currently being crunched. (See "Maximum Processes")
  5. Waiting to Process - Shows how many work units are waiting to be processed.
  6. Need to Fill - Shows how many work units need to be downloaded to fill the cache.
  7. Ready to Transmit - Shows how many results are ready to be sent back.
  8. No Proxy/Socks - All work units and results are downloaded/sent directly to the main server.

  17. Completion - Tells when the estimated completion time of the current work unit is.
  18. Left - Tells the estimated amount of time until the current work unit is complete.
  19. Total - Tells the estimated total time that work unit will take to complete.
