Getting started is easy. You can read the FAQ on how to get started and the complete WCG Team Discovery FAQ. This is probably the best way and I definitely recommend this instead of my sketchy instructions! And remember, this isn't the home of Team Discovery, it's just the stats page so don't forget to visit our home at broadbandreports or dslreports.

If you just want a super quick guide, here's what you should do.

1. Go to this page and download the WCG client.
2. Install the program.
3. Start the program.
4. Now, go to this page and click "Join this team". Now you're a team member!
5. See the Secondary Steps Below.
   
   

Getting started is easy. You can read the FAQ on how to get started and the complete TSC Team Discovery FAQ. This is probably the best way and I definitely recommend this instead of my sketchy instructions! And remember, this isn't the home of Team Discovery, it's just the stats page so don't forget to visit our home at broadbandreports or dslreports.

If you just want a super quick guide, here's what you should do.

1. Go to this page and download the TSC client. If you are using Windows, the first link at the top of this page is what you want to click (it says Windows 98/2000/NT/ME/XP).
2. Install the program.
3. Start the program.
4. In the next window, you will be asked to enter your email address. You need to be connected to the internet while completing this step.
5. Once the program starts, it will start downloading work units which can take some time if you have a slow connection.
6. Now, go to this page and to create your account. It will ask for a node id which can be found at the upper right corner of the program that you downloaded.
7. Next go here to sign in and then here to sign up with Team Discovery. Just click on the image that says "Join Team". You are now a member!
8. Finally, go here and click on "Add node", then on the following page, click "add" by the node(s) you want to add to Team Discovery. Phew!
9. See the Secondary Steps Below.
   
   

1. If you're not already a member of broadbandreports.com/dslreports.com you probably want to signup here. It's free and it's one of the best sites on the net. Especially the forums and the Team Discovery Forum.
2. Sit back and let your computer crunch! You can use your computer as you normally do and you'll notice no difference because the program only works when your computer has nothing better to do.
3. After your first workunit has completed you'll most likely find a welcome message at the Team Discovery Forum the following morning and your stats will start showing up here a day later. You'll find more instructions here such as how to get a cool spinner by your username, how to add your name to the roster, the birthday list and more.
4. If you have more computers, go back to step 1!
5. Once again, I recommend reading the FAQs mentioned above.
