Can't seem to upload all of a sudden. Just using stock SETI@Home program. Rebooted PC, still won't help. Any ideas?

Just wait. Normally, they try to keep the upload servers running all through maintenance: today, they switched them off for some reason - perhaps some hardware maintenance or re-arrangement was needed.

When the servers are hard-booted from cold, it always takes them a significant time to reach operating speed - programs and data need to be loaded from disk into (a lot of) cache RAM.

All at the same time as half a million results are trying to upload at the same time. Think of your worst freeway nightmare...
