Hmmm past two days now I have been unable to get anymore work for the BIONIC Manager from the SETI people

Just says "error no network available to process"

Nothings wrong my side as im on the internet *waves*
Is there server down?

SiriusB · 12 Jun 2007 at 22:14

Hahah!

The more important question is "are their servers ever up?"

Gojira · 12 Jun 2007 at 22:23

Patience you need, for you are not a Jedi yet!

Yep, their servers have been up and down like a lady of negotiable virtue's underwear lately

They have been letting me download in the last hour or so though.

the best thing to do is too change this setting in the preferences

"Computer is connected to the Internet about every "

stick that up to the max (10 days i think)

and you will stash lots of work units to keep you crunching when the servers have gone down

Strange... in my preferences there is no option for that :confused:

Its an online preference.

go to the "your account" page on the SETI website. there is a link from the Projects tab in BOINC manager.

about half way down is a "general preferences"

You could do this but 'stashing' is pretty poor DC etiquette and generally frowned upon.
It's far better to sign up to a secondary project to tide you over while the SETI boys rearrange their broomcupboard again.

I'd recommend Rosetta as there is always work and the WU's are fairly short so you can revert back to SETI fairly swiftly when the B0rkley servers are back up.
www.boincstats.com has a complete list of BOINC projects for you to choose from.

Must be frustrating what with being so close to the magic million tiffy.

i still have a fair way to go :confused:

did you look at Gojira stats by mistake??

Pumpkinstew · 14 Jun 2007 at 14:17

Dunno what you're talking about.

That's what happens when you try and post while eating a sandwich I suppose.

No kiddin' :eek:

But I'm within 250 of the magic number now, once it clicks over I'll switch my Core Duo not-on for a bit

Just long enough to put a quad core and some more ram in it
