This is what Boinc messages show (is disk useage too low?):

Nope. Those are just informative messages to let you know what the system limits are for BOINC. There must be a different reason. Perhaps showing more messages would help.

That's all there is. Boinc starts, produces this message, then it starts Climate Prediction which does run.

I notice that the last time Setti ran was the 10th.

I got that kind of problem from time to time, when boinc cannot access to the seti site for a while, due to a local problem (bad network configuration, cables/plugs etc.). Boinc then decides to stop trying to access to Berkeley, for a few days (may be a week). You may have had a message a few days ago.
In such case, I run another project, and after a rather long delay(like I said, a week), boinc downloads WUs again, and comes back to life.

The information on when seti will be back again is probably burried deeply in the xml files. You could thrash everything, re-install boinc , but that will give you a new computer for each project you have, new computers that you will have to merge which their previous identities (that usually works, but not always).

Its simpler to run cpdn, and wait...

It's not just you, though you wouldn't know it unless you looked at a lot of the posts here. Apparently there's been some discussion on the technical board about some issues but there's been no announcement to the hoi polloi.

I don't have an answer, as I'm in the same boat, but SETI workunits have stopped downloading. I've attempted aborting one or two after 9 hours of off-and-on attempting to download (sometimes you get a corrupt work unit and aborting it will get you one that will work, but even that isn't doing it).

They've got something not working, again. They just haven't admitted it to the users.
