Just got the 'project is down' page when trying the forums......
So something is afoot.

Hate when they do that just as I am ready to hit the reply button in a thread. :D

Been trying to get work for my updated rig all weekend. Updated it to Win7-64HP, same as my main rig, updated Boinc version to 6.10.58, and then to the latest Lunatic's build. First it was telling me that it wasn't connected to a project, but that it was using the preferences from Seti anyway. In the end I had to blank the partition that Boinc sits on, and re-install from scratch. I suspect that I'll get a whole new machine ID for it, when I can get some work for it. Then just now went to check on Seti on my main rig, and found that the whole lot seems to be down. I know it'll be worth it in the end, but I'm just a bit frustrated as I've got a whole rig sitting doing nothing at the moment.
P.S. I didn't trash any work either. I ran the cache dry before the re-install.
regards, Giz.

Not only Spare CPU cycles, but this is the other way around, IMO, whitout the last Donation Drive, SERVER problems would keep the project from funtioning as it should...........
But it appears to be much worse, more Down -Time then UP-Time, last week !? IMO, SETI lacks serious steady funding, but that's also a
political matter and thus not an easy one to 'solve'.
Are there just too much (heavy=CUDA/CAL) crunchers, or just too much computers hammering on the continued (DDOS-like) overloaded SERVER's.
Doesn't SETI have more then a MILLION hosts connected, or is that BOINC all together, with over 2 million hosts.
Looks like, at least SETI, has become too big for it's 'clothing', it has grown and needs a new 'jacket' ..............
Well, just my 2 (Euro) cents.

If the info posted in the forums while they were still up holds true, it's looking like work is not gonna be available until Tuesday or so.
Unless the server shuffle goes better than they expected, but Jeff indicated it was going to be a lengthy process.
A bit of a pain in the behind, but a necessary process to get the servers reassigned.
