Well, today I got home to find that my PC has downloaded 630 sheep. And
yet, there are only 450 sheep on the machine.
*sigh*
So I increased the cache size, and that seemed to fix the problem.
However, now some of my favourit sheep are gone. And I can't figure out
how to get them back. :-( [Most puzzlingly, I can't find them on the
sheep website either...]

The screensaver deletes sheep to keep the cache size within the limit
you set. Factors to choose which to delete are: older, and less voted.
The server also deletes videos from the website (it doesn't exactly have
infinite disk space). Same factors used in choosing.
The preview image and the "genome" are kept on the server for *all*
sheep, even year-old ones. So try harder and you may find it. If the
video was already deleted, I could help you re-render it :)

Caused by this thread I downloaded electric sheep. Now I'm curious how
you get the numbers (at least how many sheeps stay on your local
machine). I'm missing all those statistics terribly. How many sheeps are
there, how many edges, how many loops... How many frames (or lines of
them) has my dreaming cpu rendered...?
So - where do you get at least the count of local sheeps?
thanks

While the screensaver is running fullscreen, press "S" to toggle stats
on/off.
For your next challenge: Figure out what all these things *mean*. :-S

only idea so far: counting the mpegs in win/system32/electric sheep
cache/ (or similar)
something better?

It's a pretty screen saver, but how many people are going to sit and
vote on each one that goes by? Maybe they vote on just the one that was
displayed before grabbing the mouse and going back to checking email.

I did too, but I don't miss stats. Instead, I'm rather disappointed that the
screensaver is not continuous at all times as I had expected, but often
jumps from one loop to another without a proper morph between. It's totally
ruining the fluid experience.

Depends on how many of the morph sequences it's downloaded so far, but
yeah, that is kind of annoying.
(The problem I'm having here is that it keeps playing the same sequence
endlessly because those are the only ones with morphs available. I have
MPEG files on my harddrive that it never plays because there's no morph
to it...)

hmm. didn't work for me, but thanks anyway. I decided to uninstall this
cpueater (and hddeater with standard cachesettings).
