Downloading Folding At Home v.5.04


Folding@Home 5.04 version:

Fix typo in WWW
Upon installing FoldingAtHome I ran the software from a
user account only to find that I was stuck in a loop of
trying to enter configuration options. Shortly thereafter
I realized that it was trying to write to
/usr/local/share/foldingathome, and therefore requires being
run as root to write there unless one changes permissions
there. Seing as this isn't installed with a startup script
for daemonization, and running as root seems a little
excessive for this application, should this be adapted to
run from a user account or set up to be able to start at
boot?
This diff updates the port to version 5.04, and adds
support to running as normal user using ~/.fah
directory.
