I've been looking a bit at primecoins and it looks interesting. Already downloaded client but it will take me 2 weeks to synchronize it all

It looks like I've finally been able to mine through Bitminter. However my hashrate is 0.00. That tells me it's not working at all. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
I also typed setgenerate true at the bitcoint client console but I don't even know if that works.
