I'm apologize..just woke up
Am I to understand the 4.05 boinc
client that most all of us downloaded
from CPDN is not compatible with the
current S@H client? I'm reading the posts
with one eye...could someone give it to me
in a nutshell?

Are we F***ed until after the weekend?


Can we switch back to boinc 3.20?

SAH servers are not upgraded yet, it seems, so no, at the moment v. 4.05 can not be used for seti - but I'm pretty sure that it can soon.

Upgrade was supposed to happen today - if this fails I'm guessing there's no work to be done via the old client anyway as the delay seems to be due to hardware trouble on the scheduling server. So if that's to be f***** then yes, but I wouldn't see it that way ;-)

jup, but at the moment I personally don't see the point if you've already upgraded to 4.05 - as I mentioned before the delay seems to be due to trouble with the scheduling server, so you're not likely to get any work with the old client either.

This is what just happened to me. What happened to It will only take an hour?

August 27, 2004
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.

What is going on? Do we have to turn all of our machines into running Climate prediction to get any work! I had only planed to turn one of my machines over to Climate prediction maybe I'll let the other two run it as well.
