like ive said before having this boinc for a month... under 5 WU downloaded... where did it say this being a beta... you should advise people that you have a very unstable and very frustrating program here... a vgood idea but maybe you might rethink something, for a whole month I keep getting a no work error... everyday something breaks and you take 4 days to fix it and then something else breaks... is there and teachers at berkely to help? or do you only have one person working on this project? or maybe that is too high of a number

I believe a majority of people are still trusting the new S@H/Boinc.

It is indeed not without any problems but when looking to some posts concerning the start of S@H Classic, this time it is starting in a better way compared to the start some years ago of Seti at Home.

The major problems are coming from hardware issues and not from the software. The software is running quite without bugs, although some minor bugs are still there but these will certainly disappear in a short period.

The Alpha group is testing for the moment a new version of Boinc, the Beta group is waiting to be able to do the same.
Once this is behind us, the use of the new software will be available to everybody.

All we need to do is having a little bit patience, taking into account this project is generated by a University with all the different financial problems these people have.

Greetings from Belgium.
