hi,

i've run seti@home for years and had turned them off awhile ago and just re-enabled them and thought i'd check out my stats at the seti page, but instead i found this ugly website with new software that looks like crap and i have no clue how to get it to run. the program is open but it's certainly not running seti@home or doing anything at all. i don't see a help section or a 'how-to' for configuring boinc or anything.

if this is seti's future, i'm out.

"If this is seti's future, I'm out"

OK then, be seeing you. Because this IS Seti's future. Bet you're still running OS9, too.

Hello James. The website you were looking for has a new address:

http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/index.html

The old address was pointed at the SETI Boinc website a little while ago in preparation for SETI Classic being phased out.

You can still run SETI Classic, with the results being sent in automatically as before, but not for much longer.

Seti BOINC is actually a lot easier to run now than when it started, as Mac users have at long last got a reasonably functioning version of BOINC Manager, which also lets users manage other BOINC projects besides SETI@home. When it started we had to venture into the realms of UNIX command lines and stuff, which I and a lot of others hadn't had to use before (except for fsck in single user mode when troubleshooting), so you've at least missed all that 'fun and games'!

This page http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ might be worth looking at for all the links for help in using BOINC for SETI and other projects.

Hope this helps and you will be able to continue with SETI.
