Space Forum / SETI / October 2003

I know that there has been a prob at seti@home with a hard drive and that the
site has been a bit slow but I have not been able to send any results for the
last day.
Ksetispy connects and gets the new units to the cache but does not upload the

i have the following Problem:
I tried to submit several Results (5), transmitting started and worked
without problems for three Results. 2 doesn't get submitted, so i tried
it again: the 'Sending Result Screen' appears, lasts for a few seconds

I don't mean to be paranoid, but everyone & their mother is starting
to see the benefits of distro, and other distro systems are putting
bugware, spyware, etc into their code, and misusing peoples cancer
units for anthrax units, for example.

For those who are still interested.

How can we hear the aliens if they communicate with telekinesis our
use some sort of optical communication?
Maybe the aliens are already here, but we don´t see them and don´t
hear them.

For a team which is less than a year old, I think it is a pretty good
achievement

I've been running SetiQueue (latest version) for a couple of months
without any problem.  Over the past 24 hours, about 1/2 of my machines
are acting funny.  They were in the queue, but not working on legit
workunits.  In looking further, I find that their user-info.sah files

Since the work unit that compled on my system last night, I have not
been able to successfully return a result. Every time S@H tries, it
quits shortly (after a few seconds) with the alert "Unknown Fatal
error: 100". This is a Windows 2000 system. I'm running the GUI

I have been running SETI for about a few years over four different machines.
My current one is based on the Athlon 2000+ running Windoze XP Pro.
On a clean install, A unit would take 4Hrs to do, now after adding SP1 and
loads of other progs, its up to 10Hrs. How can I get my speed ...

How long will it take to send an e-mail to 4,723,933 users?
How will the S@h server cope with 4,723,933 dowmloads?

I too have just encountered this little mess-up. C'Mon, SETI, give us a clue here!!

The last two work units I processed resulted in the following
message from the Linux command-line client:
====
Sending result - connecting to server.

Just joined SetiGate@Earth. I became aware of SetiGate in the course
of my quest to run seti@home with my hard disk shut down. I have
succeeded in doing this using RAMDisk98/ME and SetiGate. You can find
an article about it at http://www.tommyatkinsonbooks.com/lgm.htm. Hope

I'm unable to connect to the Seti@home web server or to cricket.berkeley.edu
this morning, from near Chicago. Connections to the data server are OK.
A traceroute to the web server stop in Los Angeles
Probabily a result of the fires there.

Just install SuSE linux on a new machine and downloaded the correct cli for
linux but have no clue as to how to install it to run.  Any help for a
conplete linux newbie would be greatly appreciated.
