I uninstalled the ole version of Seti as instructed before installing the ne Bionic version. No all I keep getting in the messages is "Trying to download Seti 3.08 failed retry in 3 hours." It gets to 3 hours and I get the same message. It is also getting the same message for downloading the seti banner.jpg. I am running a 1Gig system running Windows 2000 with 256 mb memory. Will I ever get any work or should I just go back to the old Seti 3.08?

SETI isn't sending out WU so it wont send out the SETI application, this is because their servers are down or they have just run out of work. We cant send work back so its probably there servers down.

You can try manually updating the project. Select the "projects" tab, and right click on the project name and select "update". This will try to force an update until waiting for the backoff time.

But try it now. I just made some successful uploads.

The server may be down then. You could also try a reset as well. Same method as the update, just select "reset"
