I decided to step out on a limb and email the university and Radim Vanco in an attempt to see if he will post an update.

Thanks

I blame it all on Team L'Alliance Francophone who dropped all their bunkered tasks today. The upload server always had issues with too many uploads in progress. Those bunkered results probably overwhelmed the server.

The project is temporarily down.

I am very sorry to inform you that the project is temporarily down. The database system was still running on a temporary hardware solution which failed a few days ago and the hardware is dead. We still don't have the planned new server and due to holidays and other circumstances we can't hurry anything up. New server should be available on Septemember or October so project will propably be down until then. We don't have any sufficient hardware for other temporary solution and I also think that the best solution is to get the project online when it is finally on a new stable hardware because I know that the project outages every few weeks are very frustrating.

I will post here later any new information when available.

So just because one project doesn't do what is considered normal, you generalize and throw all projects under the bus. Because I'm sure you can put some evidence down on your claim that "projects" (plural) are spamming and spreading Trojans? (And it's still only Malwarebytes that gives this problem, none of the myriad of other AV/AM options does, which makes it in my opinion still a false positive from Malwarebytes)

Btw, the easiest thing to do is just leave a project that does these things this way. An admin will notice a lack of hungry computers earlier than posts on his own forums.

I see no evidence for such a generalisation.

I'm not trying to access downloaded data - I'm trying to access a website.

And now I've followed the rather convoluted procedure for raising a support ticket with Malwarebytes. I'll let you know what they say.

I have malwarebytes running on my machines and it has just ( last 2 days) started blocking asteroids website because it thinks there is a trojan on the site. Cannot connect to the project directly. has anyone had the problem and/or how do i tell the project directly?

To get onto the site safely, my guess is the average Linux machine would do it.
