I need to reinstall a pc & I can't wait for SETI to come back online to
upload processed workunits. If I backup  the BOINC folder before I trash it
& restore it on the newly installed pc, will that work?

The Server Status page has shown SETI-NOINC as having most of the
servers running all today (UK day time). However, the WU queue has not
diminished and no outstanding credit has been granted.
The SETI-BOINC team have now been "in the office" this Friday morning

my Seti/Boinc has had three work units wating to be uploaded
for three days now, and no new units to work on.
Is there a problem at the Sti site?
thanks

    From what I read just now, somewhere, Astropulse is a project to find
microsecond duration pulses in some portion of the microwave spectrum,
presumably near the waterhole, using the computing power of the seti@ home
network and the database already on tape, in Berkeley. Beta ...

Only yesterday i noticed that Seti has a new version (SETI BOINC).
I'm using seti command line 3.08 and the last version of seti driver. In my
stats i had 6184 WU completed, but when i transmit on my seti driver it says
that i had 7786 WU completed.

Looking at the Database Status I see the "Waiting for Validation" queue
is still growing steadily.

As to the task of our detecting such really dumb and dumber ETs;
By way of detecting their ongoing pollution of their world's atmosphere
and, by all of the pointless collateral damage and ongoing bloodshed
seems rather basic.

I have been interested in Astronomy since like 12, had an Optical telescope
since about then too. Then got interested in Radio Astronomy, but never got
around to it. 20+ years later, trying to break back into both fields.
I had a book by I believe "David Heiserman" (sp?) ??? ...

Any word on when BOINC is going to be operational?  I haven't had
anything transfer in well over a week.
Lotsa stuff waiting to go up and more waiting for downloads.

The problem appears to be sorted out. I just jumped from 68 to 154 avg.

I have not received a work unit now for at least 2 weeks. Is Seti down?
