I'm still not sure what this is. Who is ec2spot??

My guess is that maybe Amazon installed the Folding client on some part of ec2 capacity in an idle pool waiting to be launched?

I'm not sure. That would use quite a lot of power... and setting up networking and getting approval to do this would be a ton of work.

EC2 "Spot Instances" are unused instances that you can bid on if cost belows x price. I would assume they are using those unused ones.
