What's up with seti@home

Haven't been able to connect for the last 24 hours. Does anybody know what's going on?

They've been having server and bandwidth problems for a while now, and the server is currently down. No one knows when it'll come back online.

They appear to have resolved the problem. Larry, I see you're moving right up the results ladder! How long have you been crunching Seti units? What kind of machine/machines are you using?

I've got a TBird 1.2Ghz, a Athlon XP 1800+, and a P3 733 all 3 networked and crunching Seti units 24/7. I wonder when we'll find ET or Marvin the Martian?


Also, I noticed alot of members aren't running their clients any more. Is the program just too much of a burden people?

The group I was with hasn't been doing squat for months now - I finally found my password and moved over here.

http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/s...eam_19740.html

My time is seriously affected by when I was running a K6-2 (at 417) on NT4, it was taking 65 hours to crunch a unit. My old 200 MMX on Win95 was doing it in under 30 hours. With my P3-800 on Win2K it's taking about 11 hours now.

Hello Tiretool
I have been crunching seti since Sept. 2000. I have only one machine that's on all the time and it's my 1.2 T-Bird. Their bandwith problems are resolved now so when I come home I don't see the message "unable to connect" and thats helped my score. I was just looking at the Alf members site and by the last unit completed date it seems a lot have given up on finding ET.
