thanks for that

实际上我不是太懂，只在相关报道中知道了SETI@HOME，反正占用不了多少我的电脑资源，就下了软件，每天开机，自动打开运行，我也没做什么了，呵呵。

我从小时就比较关注外星文明。
一直以为，宇宙是一连串巨大的、循环的套环。从黑洞开始，从黑洞结束。
至于UFO之类的不明飞行物，我一直也以为，不过是外星生物探测宇宙的工具而已，正如我们用手机，可以听到远隔万里之外的声音一样。今天我们都会用无人探测器去探索火星，那么，一个外星文明相当发达的世界，要来地球探寻或寻找什么东西的话，会冒着生命危险亲自驾驶飞船来地球么？所以，我认为，UFO，真正的UFO，绝对不会出现有生命在里面。

是的，你可能是正確的！即使是斯蒂芬·霍金假設第一次接觸將最有可能是一台機器。

地球人已經被污染的空間，月球，火星和一些小行星，所以這是很合理的想法。

Hi.
Is there a certain amount of money you need to get a particularly problematic piece of equipment swapped out? Knowing how much it costs may I think help people contribute to get it replaced.

If you pop into the "number crunching" section of the forum you will find, at the very top, a thread from the GPUUG who co-ordinate the donation of equipment and money for eqquipment.

It's going to be close. I have 900k units now, and if things work just right, I "might" hit 1 Million before the end of the year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys, but in the meantime, I'm doing einstein@home units.

Gracias por el aviso. Espero que se solucione pronto y volver a poner los ordenadores a vuestro servicio.
Saludos y suerte.

I see "SETI@home scheduler is down until further notice" but some posts in here say that it's working. Doesn't seem to be working, just making sure this is expected.
Thanks!

Colin; it's been back up for several days. Check the server status page and the network traffic graphs for more reliable and up-to-date information.

Looks like the servers are up but it keeps telling me there's no tasks available at this time for this project. So it's still messed up.

Ivan, thanks for the quick response. I have several servers and desktop computers that all keep saying "communication deferred" when I try to let SETI run. Other projects work fine. Any suggestions? Really don't want to delay the discovery any further ;)

Oh, and FWIW, all of my machines show the "Down until further notice message" as latest, not the "it's back up" one.

Colin

My systems still have the "schedular down" message as the "latest news" as well. Might want to consider updating that.

Amazing, press the update button at your end and it will update.

The longer people keep posting in this thread, the longer it'll stay as the lastest news, Strangely enough.

Tell me about it, I've been looking for the Higgs boson for 11 years; we've found one but now our competitors reckon they have two...

One problem can be stale information in your DNS cache, if you haven't rebooted for a while (but if they are Windows machines you did re-boot after last Tuesday's security patches, right? :-) On Windows, stop BOINC and do

> ipconfig /flushdns

On Linux it can vary; my Scientific Linux machines use

$ /etc/init.d/nscd restart

Another problem (that I had just yesterday) is if you are using a HTTP proxy and the owner of the proxy server has decided not to tolerate your traffic any more. ...in which case find a new proxy or try without (Tools -> Options -> HTTP Proxy).

The "Communications deferred" message in the Projects tab can hide a multitude of sins; what messages do you see in the Event log window when you try to communicate?

Oh, and FWIW, all of my machines show the "Down until further notice message" as latest, not the "it's back up" one.

Colin

I don't think there was a "Back up again" message this time around.

---

The ipconfig /flushdns command didn't work. Still "down until further notice". I do get new tasks to crunch, though.

---

Any idea when it will be back up and running
