(Rah, Rah) Thank goodness that this is only a 3 hour outage, so the validation queues shouldn't grow by more than 100,000 during that time!, so all I can say is Great job UCB (Rah, Rah!)

Well how's this for notice. I have 23 computers running or did run boinc. They have been waiting for 7 days to dump and reload work units. every other week this is the same problem. The 'status of servers' says everything is running, if so, why doesn't anything work? I am about to dump some 92 work units down the drain and regain computer power if Bonic doesn't get it's act together! Dr. Dennis Chevalier, FIPC LT.COL.

Dr., not to be presuming anything, but have you looked at the messages as to why you can't upload? There have been a lot of problems, but that seems like a long time not to be able to upload. I don't have as many units as you do, but there has never been more than 24hrs of uploading problems on my end. I demand a refund. Oh wait, I didn't pay to join, I VOLUNTEERED! ID: 149528 ·

This isn't meant to be a wise-guy remark, but while it's the same number of units, are they the same units. I have the same number of workunits I had last week as well, ( a monsterous day's worth or 4) but it's not the same 4 that were there a week ago. It might be due to my tiny little cruncher machine, or it's equally tiny cache of work, but in the last week I haven't had any problems uploading or downloading. Only had 2 errors right after the last outage, system connects, while the servers were coming back up. Otherwise it's been business as usual... granted the credit tally hasn't grown too quicky, but once the Ex-Lax kicks in, watch it grow! ID: 149531 ·

It isn't BOINC problem, it is a SETI BOINC problem. Consider re-allocating the CPU power to other BOINC projects which ARE running well. For me, that is Climate and Einstein, but there are another couple of projects as well.

Not sure what the problem is with your uploads -- those are working for me -- they just have a very slooooow validate cook process to meander through. ...AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF WORKUNITS I HAD LAST WEEK WAITING TO BE SENT!
