+Before running the client for the first time, be sure to:
+
+ 1. visit the Uptimes project's web site and register yourself
+ (WWW: http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/newuser.php).
+ 2. log in (WWW: http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/login.php).
+ 3. Add your host (WWW: http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/account.php).
+ It is very important that you do not lose the generated key
+ since, for instance, they are no way to get it back by any way.
+
+Note that in order to send your uptime information to the uptime server,
+you hosts need more-or-less full-time Internet access.
+
+You will also have to edit %%PREFIX%%/etc/upclient.conf:
+
+ - AuthKey is the ID you've received when you added your host.
+ - Interval is the amount of time between each update.
+ (WWW: http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/protocol.html).
+ Don't set this higher than 10 minutes, or else your host
+ won't appear in the list.
+ - UptimeServer is the Uptimes Project's data server, currently
+ uptimes.hostingwired.com (Since the official Uptimes Project's
+ server has been terminated, uptimes.wonko.com and data.uptimes.net
+ must not be used anymore. So, please, take care about that).
