Generally speaking, the wealth of issues we've been experiencing were simply due to Astropulse adding about 10-20 more Mbits/sec to our general average. This was a little higher than we expected, hence the initial air of mystery, but still quite within our abilities given current infrastructure. This traffic might go down a bit once everybody requesting their first Astropulse workunit gets their single copy of the Astropulse client.

So this explains the big rush once we released the first workunits and the longer "catching up" period, especially given the fact we were constrained all weekend due to lack of workunit storage space.

Today I've been mostly working on build scripts and testing recent database code fixes. Getting back on the "development" train for a bit... We are also close to getting that new home-grown NAS into production.
