...i've reduced SETI share down to 5% of the original share. I see no more sense in crunching units that go stale in the upload queue, when other projects are sufficiently maintained and running. This is no attack against anyone, just a suggestion to others also crunching for other projects. I just did the same with CPDN, when they had big trouble with their servers. Needless to say i will raise the share again, once i see progress on this mess.

No harm meant! Really :)
Aloha, Uli

As long as this issue isn't solved I don't accept new work from Seti. The other projects are doing well!

Darth,
Remember something though, when you aren't uploading, the scheduling is going to start looking at your progress. Had many days of uploading, uploading drifting down, now no uploading, it will put a work unit per day limit on you.
It did that to me, not my fault at all, and it kicked me down to 4 per day.
I had hundreds to upload, wouldn't take them, then it put me on a 4 per day limit download. It took over a month to get the limit starting to come back out of the cellar. Even though the very day the uploads started to work again, I uploaded 3 full machines worth, each with around 20 or so. And completed the 4 work units it gave me in a little over 6 hours, laid doing nothing for the next 18 hours, until it allowed me to get 4 more, completed in 6 hours, do nothing for 18, continued that way for over a month.
Thanks, and Keep on crunchin'

and I still have some of it left.

Me neither! And my computer is also happily crunching!
