First start of the vSwarm Client

After you first started the Client, you will be asked to supply the login data.
Please enter the username and password you did supply during your registration to vSwarm. After that you can leave the dialog and you are ready to look for tasks to be processed by you.

"Start working"

Hey the headline says it all. To process jobs you now only have to hit the start working button and here you go :-) That's easy, right?

Stop working

To stop the processing of tasks there is a second button named "Stop working". Hitting this button ONCE will stop processing of further jobs after the actual job has been completed. Hit the button one more time, will abort processing immediately. Most of the time this is not what you want to do, as you won't receive credits for the aborted task.

Configuring the Client

To configure the vSwarm Client select "Settings --> Options" in the vSwarm menu.
The options window consists of two tabs. One to configure the "Login data" and one tab for "Advanced Settings".
