Hi, I wanted to ask about the very slow takes forever to download and upload work units, I have been with Boinc for many years, will this be fix? I have 500k so plenty of speed to get jobs.
The other this is I thought our Boinc seti account that I have had for many years was linked to these forums, which I found out not, I had to create an account just to enter this info. As I can log into my acount manager http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Account_managers, but not to message boards with the same log in info. is this a problem or is what I did right.

You've reached the BOINC forums. Here we discuss anything about the BOINC client itself, not so much about the projects.

BOINC is merely a managing program, it doesn't do any of the work it gets sent.
Projects run their science applications that do the work. Examples of projects are Einstein, Climateprediction.net, Seti, World Community Grid.

These projects have their own forums. You can at easiest reach them by opening BOINC Manager->(Tools->Advanced view->)Projects tab->Select any of your projects and then check the left bar, some buttons got activated. In most cases the forums are included in those.

The slow downloads you are experiencing is a side effect of the Seti bandwidth being completely saturated. This is because Seti is the most liked project, it has at any one time around 150,000 hosts that usually all ask and try to download work at the same time. To complain about that, you really have to be on their forums, it is not something that BOINC can or will change.
