Has anyone else been getting an abnormally large number the "Project is Down" message during the past week or so? I can usually close and restart the program and the data transfer, be it upload or download, will then take place. If it was only ocurring on 1 machine I would know where to start looking, but it's happened on all of them at least 3 or 4 times.

Bruce's explanation here.

Basically just let BOINC do it's thing. It'll retry communications on it's own.

If E@H is your only project then bump up your connect to interval (slowly!) to get more work on your machine or attach to another project.

I am getting them too. SuSE Linux 10.1, BOINC 5.7.5, E@H 4.17. I am also running SETI@hone and QMC@home.

The folks at Einstein have

The folks at Einstein have acknowledged they are having loadhandling issues. Until they manage a hardware upgrade (more memory, faster processor, something like that) the problem is likely to persist.

I think some of the overload issue can be attributed to the extra processing load all those short results create.
