I have a new windows xp. I downloaded BOINC today with the hope of accessing SETI@ Home. However, for the past five hours, when I try to attach the SETI program using the BOINC manager, it keeps saying it is temporarily unavailable. Is there something wrong with it?

From the home web page of SETI@home: Our database is temporarily offline. Many website functions are not available. Please try again later. Tuesday every week is their maintenance day. for some reason it looks like SETI@home maintenance day will stretch into Wednesday.

They are not down, just a bit busy. Be patient and retry... :-)

Currently they have the weekly outage and the error message should differ.

Update: Updated to Bonic Manager version 6.10.36 and reset seti and now its working fine. :) Finally! I had tried this with 6.10.35 and not luck.

So either something related to seti was fixed in .36 or servers finally just now came back online.

This is getting old really quick!!

3/18/2010 1:48:14 PM SETI@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available)

Been 3 days and still can not get any jobs on any computer. Resetting project is of no help.

Close to giving up on SETI and staying 100% with Docking.
