I already run the distributed.net RC5-64 client. Can I run SETI@home as well, or do I have to choose which project to support?

Both clients can run simultaneously. In screen-saver mode the http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ client seems to take priority. For those that don’t allow the clients to connect automatically, the advantage is that the RC5-64 client can download multiple blocks to work on as opposed to SETI@home’s single work unit. This means that while the SETI@home client waits for you to connect next, the RC5-64 client can continue working on its own tasks. index 2 2.
