Client Updating!

Well, in the past this was actually important. But with the more recent clients, Distributed.Net has made the clients not read blocks downloaded by older clients, which makes this process much easier.

  1. Complete a 'flush' of all completed blocks. (Click on Network --> Network Update in the GUI version).
  2. Shut down your client.
  3. Install your new client to the same directory as the old client (it may find the right directory for you, usually its c:\program files\rc5 or something of that nature.
  4. Restart your new client, and just watch it a bit to verify that things start working properly.

And thats it, your done! Now you will see a message saying "Block read from different cpu/os/version, marking entire block as unchecked.". Just ignore this, its normal.
