They were already having problems with their download servers, but as of this moment they have their weekly maintenance on top of that. For the next 3 to 6 hours or more do not expect to get any work. Check their news and status on a regular basis over the coming hours. ID: 16669 ·

To make sure you use the 'politically correct' terminology in BOINC... ;-) BOINC = boinc.exe = the daemon aka the client. Seti = seti_enhanced_xxx.exe = science application. But ok, you'll just have to wait for the project to fully wake up from its slumber. :-) ID: 16675 ·
