Just so you know, I haven't reported a WU there since 08, my RAC is .04, and I still have access to the forums there. Access to the forums doesn't require any credits. So, if you were crunching just for that, you can now free up that box for something else.

I actually agree with you 100% about SET@Home, but I would NEVER have said so on another board.
So? Every project has a post somewhere of someone talking unfavorably about another project. If you want to leave because of that, you won't find any project that suits you... unless of course that isn't really the issue.

No access to the forums doesn't require RAC but posting does. While you may be correct about every project criticising every other project I had not seen this at SETI so perhaps I expected too much and you may be correct.
I will keep crunching here to make up for my lost credit from stopping at SETI.
As for my "SETI" box I bought it for £25 at a computer fair just to keep some RAC. I will distribute my other 4 machines around projects
Hey that's a great price! I had the fancy idea of building a beowulf cluster and figured hey there are going to be a lot of older throw away boxes out there. What I'm finding is that people want too much, so that project is on hold :)
I did find an old 486 SX with DOS 6.22 on it at a thrift store for $5, but that's just for playing my old DOS games on.
Okay, now what? The Seti guys said they would at least keep the web server up so people could see the message about the reason the rest of the servers are down. But now there isn't even a response from the web server. And it's too early in the morning for them to have taken it down deliberately (unless they went in really early).

I just tried, and after a long delay, got it. Looks a little strange, but did come up with the info.
Hope that what they left running in the server closet is not getting heat exhaustion.

Thanks for the info. I see life on the Seti Crickets, looking to me like the upload server is up.
See ya at Boinc.
