How long is it suppose to take before it starts showing I have credits for a project. I have been running AQUA and SETI for 3 days now and I still have no credits. The only project that is giving me credits is ROSETTA.

That's probably better asked on the projects, but from what little I know about the ones that you mentioned, they use a quorum system, so you have to wait until the other people ('wingmen'), running copies of your WUs also finish them. Then the results are compared to see if they agree. If not, they start again. If they do agree, then credits are issued.

In the case of Seti, the project goes offline Tuesday to Friday morning California time. This is for maintenance and to allow unimpeded access to the main database to look for likely candidates.

Normally Seti forums become available again Tuesday afternoon/night. The forums have not returned yet as off this writing.
