I used to do SETI@home a while ago. I am back now and just installed BOINC on my PC, Windows XP, SP3. It will not connect to server. Posted below are the error messages:

Oh. Maybe I should read a bit before posting. Seems that the servers are still on 3 day maintenance? If so, that would explain why I cannot connect.

Yep, one other thing you will most likely want to do is go into This part of the preference, click edit and set "Suspend work if CPU usage is above" to zero.

That way it will not stop crunching when you open your email.

Great. Thanks. I did just that. I am glad to be back though :)

Not to staff: Please give us a schedule for all unplanned outages.

About the only of weathering server outages at one project is to join several BoINC projects.

Classic has been turned off since 2005. Its hardware has been integrated by Seti BOINC, there is no longer any work for that Seti, you can't use it for anything useful.
