Space Forum / SETI / August 2003

There used to be something on their web site about a new, larger
project, but that's not there any more. Anybody heard anything?
Thanks for you time.

Since last December when I finally moved in to the top 1% of users, I
have been tracking my stats. Since that time, I have consistently
moved up in my place rank (then at 28688th place and I had completed
more work units than 99.306% of users).

Just recently something has been keeping my ISDN connection to BTinternet
active, even when the connection has been totally inactive at this end for
some hours. :-(   The connection was only going down when BTinternet cut it
at their end after 4 hours..!

What are the typical degrees/ qualifications scientists with Seti have?

I usually use Linux for running seti but my wife needed XP and I have
installed it for her..My problem now is how do I run seti -verbose and
how do I stop seti hogging the cpu....The gizmo in XP that shows the cpu
usage tells me seti is taking up 100%....It is so slow in ather apps ...

Have been running my small network using SETIQ as the proxy, and very
happy with the results. However, I have 2 minor problems on which I
would appreciate guidance -
1.      How can I enable the "Looking for sweet WUs" feature?

Would like to know the recommended settings for nice
I have a couple of spare boxes setup on Debian to run seti on
and nothing else so the faster the better...

Hello crunchers,
I'm having a problem I've never encountered before. I seem to have a
'stuck' Work Unit. When I try to transmit this particular WU, I get this
error message:

I just saw on the SETI Inst. website:

   I don't know if I have stuffed up the config but all the work units get
to 99.???% and then stop.  It won't send the unit but keeps downloading
more.  Any ideas?
Thanks.
