The bulk of this work is complete, and work is being distributed. Please note we may continue to bring servers up/down over the next few weeks (outside of regularly planned outages) as we wrap up the final stages of this major endeavor. -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

Could you please estimate whether regular weekly 3-day outages will continue to be a routine staple of life, or will you be able to do the science work while the distribution of WUs continues? I assume Tuesday downtime will continue for backups. Thx again. ID: 1054076 ·

I hope the new kit will make a substantial difference to the projects uptime in the future. Thank you for all your hard work it has really been appreciated.

For some reason my AMD64 machines are not being given any work to do, but my 32 bit machines are humming away. Is there any reason for this? Thanks, again, for all the hard work! ID: 1054130 ·
