Poison? lol. It doesn't work like that... So you're saying that if the raw data files are stored on user's PCs, that no malicious person out there would even think of modifying them? And as far as the "saturated internet connection" for the volunteers is concerned: unless you are streaming pron 24/7 I am not sure what you are doing to saturate yours. Even if you are torrenting... No, you misunderstand what I said. I said SETI@Home's connection is saturated, or is often too close to the saturation level to even contemplate storing raw files on user's PCs. Look, may it be p2p or dfs, either is probably not the best of ideas regarding our current situation - nor one I would use for data retention on this sort of project... initially. Having said that, if at all possible I would be doing this before I start shipping my primary data physically... even down the street. When it comes to scientific work or data integrity, controls and environment are far more important than what the rest of the world is doing. Remember, SETI@Home is not a business, so typical business ideas and technologies need not apply. | |

Several data drives did arrive from Arecibo today. These files are now being moved into the pipeline.

Just got 346 new workunits. Most of them were recorded within the last 2 months. Nice to see fresh data come in. Good work guys! | |

Just got 346 new workunits. Most of them were recorded within the last 2 months. Nice to see fresh data come in. Good work guys! Considering the ALFA receiver was off the telescope from the end of July until a few days ago, that is indeed the most recent data. The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey began their fall observing campaign yesterday, see http://egg.astro.cornell.edu/alfalfa/scheds/asttimes/a2010_schedfall11.txt. That's excellent data for S@h analysis, and the next shipment from Arecibo should have a lot of it. Joe | |

My new batch of work ALL resulted in computation errors. | |

My new batch of work ALL resulted in computation errors. Have a read of the S@H Enhanced v6.04 thread over in Number Crunching. Claggy | |

Hi --- I just added a newish computer to my account and it seems to be unable to download any work units. With all the good news about wu's being distributed, I would have thought I'd have gotten some; help? | |

Hi --- I just added a newish computer to my account and it seems to be unable to download any work units. With all the good news about wu's being distributed, I would have thought I'd have gotten some; help? The download pipe is Maxed out, If you abort all your transfers you'll never get them downloaded, and now you have a Max tasks per day of 1 for that app, have patience. Claggy | |

My bad --- I mistakenly thought that having several dozen wu's in "downloading" mode for days on end and that SETI was frozen. So, obviously now I can only wait till things stabilize. Thank you for your help !!! | |

In an attempt to push some older unanalyzed files through the pipeline we encountered data that could not be successfully preprocessed or split. This has resulted in work distribution going to near zero. We are currently transferring newer files from off site storage and soon will be receiving a disk shipment from Arecibo. Once these data are on hand work distribution will pick up. Oh no, not more data.... If ET isn't in the data from the last 12 years, then I don't think he will be found in even more data. What we need is less of data, and more of ET :-) ____________ /The grumpy old Swede. "I'm so old, that 98% of all trees in the forest, are younger than I am" | |

Data didn't like any of the ET's that he found, so he exterminated them all. | |

Once these data are on hand work distribution will pick up. That all depends...are they sending a constant signal? How about one that only lasted for so long before they stopped transmitting? Maybe we missed the signal, then again, it may not have gotten here yet. We just need to crunch the right work units that are pointed at the right part of the sky at the right time. That's a lot to comprehend. Even lotteries don't have such bad odds. ____________ "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible".

I can understand people screaming for more wu's. First of all, why have people joining teams if not for some healthy competition. Yes, the most important goal is to find ET. Everyone understands that, but a little fun and competition is, in my opinion, a very healthy incentive to donate more computer time. It is also fun to compete against your team members. My rac has fallen so far that it won't be too long that i'll be in negative numbers. I am still falling also. I hope this problem gets resolved soon so I can get back into the game and take an interest again in the competition. No matter what tho, I will not lose sight of the ultimate goal. | |

Sure, people like to compete. But the important thing to remember is that SETI never promised to provide work 24/7, let alone 8/5. | |
