SETI@home down time

[Aeromir]

Greetings everyone. I'm a returning member of the team.. I've been out of crunching for a few years but back now. I noticed SETI@Home was down for three days this week. I read on the project web site that happens weekly. Is that right? Seems a bit crazy to take everything offline for 3/7th of the time.

I added a pref to store 5 days of work on each cruncher (I assume that's the best way to handle this). Is that what everyone else does or is this an unusually long down time?

Thanks

Good to be back!

I never remembered the old SETI servers being taken off line like that. Just kind of surprised me. Glad to know it's not a problem with a few days of work cached!
