I saw in some threads that a lot of people are angry now with SETI@home.

And they leave SETI@home.

I cannot understand this..

Maybe they don't know, that everybody can choose how big can be the work on the PCs?


So you would be protected, if the project have little problems.



Here we go:

Your account/Computing preferences/

Computer is connected to the Internet about every x days

and/or

Maintain enough work for an additional x days




BTW.
SETI@home is a nonprofit project.
The servers are not the newest..
If you have little money, give a donation..
And if more people would do this, SETI@home could buy a new server which could make a well job.

or...go to your Boinc Manager menu bar...Advanced/Options/Preferences and increase the number of days for the work buffer.

Which might not be such an awful thing if they shift their resources to other worthy BOINC (or non-BOINC) projects. seti@home is the best known of the BOINCs and, as far as I can tell, commands far more than its fair share of nodes. I've determined to divide my contributions between seti@home, climateprediction.net, and the World Community Grid's AIDS and Cancer research projects. There is something to be said for a diversified portfolio. And it helps keep one centered, and focused upon the *value* of what one is doing, rather than obsessing, selfishly, upon one's RAC for any one project.

Going by this post reading Joseph's words this answer of yours Sutaru, is wrong

Astropulse is also working

As I appear to be the only Josef in that thread, I'll just note that users making reasonable adjustments to the default settings for queue size does not worry me. Even the maximum of 10 days may be reasonable for some systems, but for most a setting of 2 or 3 days would have been enough to handle almost all the server incidents we've seen.

Sutaru's suggestion that users donate is of course very sensible, I hope all recognize that the project is now very dependant on our donations.

I have a lot of respect for Joe.

The best advice is to simply relax. If the project is down, it will be back. Murphy likes to wait until Friday evening, and he likes to break things in ways that require someone to be physically on-site to diagnose and fix things.

... and they deserve a day off.

But we clearly have crunchers who can't tolerate a minute of downtime.

For them, if it's a choice of a little extra server load, or the kind of angst that some go through when they're short on work, I'd say a little extra cache is probably the best solution.

I have had a five day cache for awhile now and so far haven't had any problems staying busy. I should have enough work until after the outage tomorrow.

Even after the weekend, I still have about a day and a half of MB work. If I add in the AP units I probably have 5 days of work.

Hi,

Haven't had any new WUs for over a day now. No work to run at all. Getting WUs from PrimeGrid ok. Anyone getting WUs from SETI????

Not much there yet......
The ready to send cache is empty, and the splitters are not doing much either.
Message on the home page says that new work is kinda on the back burner until some of the backlog of downloads, validation, and assimilation have cleared to make room in the database for new work creation.
So your odds of getting any new work right now are rather slim.

I got two WUs with some coaxing from my side, but they will get over in half an hour. Then back again to the waiting. All my other machines still have 2-3 days of work left...

I thought it's needed to push up this thread.. ;-D

I chose at the very beginning two projects. Now the other one is running/crunching alone for a while. I would not get angry because of the server/project is out of work for a period of time which I presume a short one: the WU´s and the whole project has a rest for everyone, so nobody can take any advantages. What I mean is: it is the same rule/condition for all of us.
Just my personal point of view....
Keep crunching, whatever it might be!

Variety is the spice of life. It's dangerous to put all one's eggs in one basket. Diversification is good for one's portfolio. One should always strive for a varied diet. A software monoculture is an invitation to malware. And IDIC. However one wants to state it... diversity is good.

I'm running a couple of bio-projects from the World Community Grid, a CM3 climate model from climateprediction.net, and an AstroPulse. I have enough work to last another 14 weeks. The climate WUs are long. (2 weeks to 3 months, depending upon the type of model.) But, for those who care about RAC, all climateprediction.net projects "trickle" back credit a few times a day. They have open-sourced the the trickle-back code for use by other projects. It would likely be a good match for AstroPulse, and improve AP's popularity.

There are lots of interesting projects. I wish I had more PC´s available or more powerful ones, or both!!

running out and mine was set to 6 days. don't blame people for leaving the project.
after i take the number one spot in my team, my goal. i too will more then likely leave the project.

I don't know about that. When I was using SETI Classic on an AMD K6 166MHz machine with Windows 95, workunits typically took about a week to complete (note: classic workunits and not the longer SETI Enhanced as it hadn't come out yet), and I wasn't too upset about it being "too long". I think AP is just fine the way it is.

Sorry to hear you say that Mutt. Just remember that if you ever feel like searching for little green men again, we'll probably be here waiting when you come back (unless SETI gets shut down for lack of funding that is).
