	How did we manage to have an outage without the Crickets taking a dive? ____________ David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri.

	They always leave the upload and download servers running during the outage. They only shut down the scheduling server. ____________

Yes, but with the scheduler shut down, no new downloads should be entering the queue. It's very rare that there are so many tasks waiting to download at the beginning of the outage that we keep Cricket maxxed the whole time - I think I've only seen that once before.

I've got downloads backed up from here to Kalamazoo. So it looks like things will be pegged for quite some time. :/ ____________ SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the BP6/VP6 User Group today!
