'The goal of the SETI@Home Service is to help maximize your system's SETI@Home work-unit output. It uses the command-line client, which elimiates processing cycles that would otherwise be lost to displaying graphics. As a further boost, even the client's text output is disabled. The client is run as a background process, so that it can continually work without impacting anything else you may want to do on your machine.
But the main benefit to running the client as a service is that it runs the client as long as your machine is booted. You no longer need to leave yourself logged on to process work units. If your machine is rebooted while you are away from it for any reason (eg: power outage), the SETI@Home Service will resume processing immediately after your machine reboots. A third way the SETI@Home Service helps you is with network outages. If your network connection happens to be down when the SETI@Home client completes a unit, it will quite likely terminate. This can leave you without any SETI processing for an extended period of time until you come back to the machine and notice the client's window is gone. The SETI@Home Service automaticly detects termination of the SETI@Home client and restarts it. A fourth way the SETI@Home Service helps you is with its handy built-in web server, which can report client status to any connected PC via your web-browser.
The SETI@Home Service requires a command-line SETI@Home client. To ensure the integrity of the results, SETI@Home clients must be downloaded from an approved server, so one is not distributed with this package. A list of approved download sites for the SETI@Home client is available at http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html. Look for the latest i386-winnt-cmdline.exe release.'
