I have no SETI WUs, and I have three listed as 'Downloading' that have been listed as such for hours. Is there something wrong with the SETI servers? TIA.

Yes, there are DNS problems.

But 3 is manageable to do 'by hand'. Just follow the walk-through I posted.

Many tries with this option on all three of my machines. No luck. I did manage to download a couple of units today though. Just cant upload my results. Since last weeks "outage" I set all my machines to 10 days of pending work so I wont run out.

Setting your cache to 10 days on a project like SETI that has relatively short deadlines can have an adverse affect on work-fetch.

I've left my caching at 2.75 days for the last three years and have never run out of work.
