We are currently experiencing a hardware issue with our scheduling server, we expect this issues resolved within the hour. The upgrade to 4.x will start around 11am PDT and will take roughly an hour. Anybody who has any remaining results to report should get them in before the upgrade, after the upgrade you'll need the 4.x clients to report new results, and upgrading to the 4.x client will reset the project on your machine. Roughly 100,000 results are queued up and ready to be sent out after the upgrade, plus the three splitters will be up and running producing work as quickly as possible.

For info: 11h.PDT = 18h.UTC

Greetings from Belgium.

Ok... here's a silly question.. if the servers are down, how the hell are we supposed to upload our results???? C'mon, let's use a bit of common sense here! Also, how about actually providing the new version on the download page. We should be able to click on "partcipate" and then download and get the "new" version...except we can't. We have to go to boinc.dk to get it. I realize for those of you in europe, that's not a big deal, but some of us happen to live in the U.S. where Berkeley is, so it's a bit easier for us to get it here, not to mention it's a little more reassuring that we're not downloading something that's hacked!

Don't release mis-information into the world, please. Read this post and then stop telling useless information. :(

I'm just saying that I would feel better if I were downloading the client off Berkeley's servers rather than some other server in Denmark. I am <B>NOT</B> saying I think the client on the Denmark server <I><B>IS</B></I> hacked. I'm just saying that it is more reassuring <B>to me</B> to download off the "official" servers at Berkeley.

What makes you think the post you quote is not "useless information"?
And who the heck is that JANUS guy? And why should we believe him?

I'm not saying he's not someone from the project; he might very well be. My point is: how are the people here supposed to know who he is, and what posts are mis-information or true information?

Ditto.
