Sorry to hear, if that's what they feel there soon will be no one left to lend them time and computing power.


Except for the majority of current users, who never look closely at their stats, never view these forums, and are blissfully ignorant of all the alleged problems here.

And in any case, Chris and I (and a few others) will always be here.

Al Capone, if you don't like what is happening here, there are lots of other projects that would love to use your computing power. Be warned though, they are all just as prone to problems and interruptions as S@H.



Not interested in any other projects. I like to think that we are not alone in the universe that's why i joined S@H in the beginning.


And behold one of my computer just got one Astroplulse WU to chew on ;-)

There is still hope for mankind. :-)

The bandwith cap to 100Mb is probably the first step.

I can remember the days when Matt and the lads, tore their hair out because we couldn't get more than 50Mb from the link. Now people are complaining because we can.

Some people who make 1 post in 12 years should go and take a chill pill, and be grateful for what they get.

Chris: I don't think grateful is the right word. Satisfied works better. The flaw in your 50 vs. 100 comparison is that the increase in bandwidth has been greatly surpassed by the increase in demand, driven by better-performing computers.

Al Capone: how does it hurt you if you don't get any work? If you intended that as a threat -- "Give me more work or I'll leave and not do any for you" -- sorry, but they won't miss you.


Sorry to hear, if that's what they feel there soon will be no one left to lend them time and computing power.

It seems that the Seti Project is dying.

The bandwith cap to 100Mb is probably the first step.

I havn't recieved any new WU´s to process.

If this will continue for much longer i will
delete my SETI account on all my computers.
