With Seti being down more often than not recently, I joined some other Boinc projects to give my computer something to do while Seti solves its problems. It worked fine for a couple of days, but now it seems as though Seti is sending some sort of error to Boinc that prevents it from running the other projects. Boinc starts fine each time, but as soon as Seti sends the error, all progress stops.

I'm running Boinc Menubar 4.43 on a G4 iBook running Mac OS X 10.3.9

Here's my Boinc log if it helps any:

Suspend SETI or set it for "No New Work" That may allow your other projects to get some work. You might need to quit BOINC and restart it.
Be patient, BOINC might not get work immediately, but it should get work for the other projects. Just watch the SETI board until the project is back up, then allow new work for SETI. It will have some long term debt, but just let the BOINC client do its job. It may take a week for it to settle in to all the projects.
