--- Quote ---Planned Power Outage
Repairs are necessary after the short circuit that caused power failures in several labs here on campus two weeks ago. These repairs require a planned power outage, which starts this afternoon (Tuesday 22:00 UTC). We'll be back on line Thursday morning (roughly Thursday 17:00 UTC). Our websites and data servers will be offline throughout this outage. 29 May 2012 | 17:11:12 UTC

But thanks for the info, arkayn.
I had not seen that notice.
Better than if the servers had crashed, I guess.

Two reasons for the difference:
1) SETI is a complicated beast with lots of interconnected servers. It's best if they're powered down carefully (and in the right order) while the staff are on-site, and powered back on again the same way.
2) "Two big temporary generators got moved into the SSL parking lot today. The lab has enough back-up generator power for Isaac [the BOINC server] and for the lab routers and switches, but not enough to keep seti@home up."

so the servers will be back on line FRIDAY!!!
