Hardware Problem

Dear participants of the RCN project,

the RCN server is currently down because of a hardware problem related to the RAID. We are currently working on fixing the problem, and the server will be up again as soon as we are done.

Thank you for your patience.
The RCN team.

So are these sparse and vague little messages on the root index page, days apart, the best they can do?

But there are folks out here who also take a great interest in the projects - and to have so little information about what is going on just kinda sucks...

3.03 sucks so much because we cleaned up a bunch of sucking code in this version. We found several cases existed in 3.0 where the clients could process entire workunits without ever touching the suck functions. This was an undetected conflict between the science and suck code, and has been fixed in 3.03.
Now we are efficiently maximizing both science and sucking.
You are able to use 3.0 during random phases when I don't have mandatory upgrade messages turned on. I turn these on whenever I feel like it, and turn them off when 3.0 clients in tight loops load down our server. As of time of writing, you cannot download workunits with 3.0, but you may be able to later. Within a week, no matter what, 3.0 will be dead in the water. We can only accept results from suckless clients for so long.
