April 21, 2005 We will be having a several hours long outage tomorrow for a full database backup. Exact time and duration to be determined. Similiar things have gone into Overtime and into the Weekend. It would be safe to grab a few days worth more of Work Units. ID: 102324 ·

Along those lines does anyone have any hard info on when the Seti Classic will finally be shutdown. George Poland ID: 102361 ·

I'd assume its just boinc. ID: 102526 ·

Is it possible to setup a machine to download around 10 WU's then have my client machines access my server instead of the Seti WU server? <img src="http://boincwapstats.sourceforge.net/counter_detailed.php/id:8087173/project:seti/p.png"> ID: 102936 ·

Go to "Your account" "Preferences" "General" and choose "View or edit general preferences" which brings you here. Change the "Connect to network about every" xx days to some 1 or 1.5 days. Afterwards in Boinc Manager (assuming you are using this) you will need to do an "Update project". After doing that, Boinc will download the next time a certain amount of WU's. Have a look how much, you can still adapt it once again by doing exactly the same. ID: 103003 ·

The outage was the other day. LoL 98SE XP2500+ @ 2.1 GHz Boinc v5.8.8 And God said"Let there be light."But then the program crashed because he was trying to access the 'light' property of a NULL universe pointer. ID: 103027 ·
