Anyone offer me any advice please.
I have been processing SETI units on and off, for a few years now. On
the 7th July, I suddenly stopped being able to send processed units
back. I have done the following:

1. Installed the latest version of the Windows client.
2. Wiped the existing install completely and did a fresh install.
2. Temporarily disabled my firewalls.
3. Tried the "connect now method" described in the help, and read the
messages as I was trying to connect manually. Nothing showing up as
peculiar.

Nothing has changed from my end as far as I know, and when I do a
completely clean install, it downloads a new unit for processing, but
when it comes to returning it, I get an error message that says "Can't
connect to server, will try again. (Error -20;2)"

Anyone got any idea what is causing this ?

FatHippy, just checked the cricket on seti server and saw that they have
been down at least three times today.  If I remember correctly that error
message is an indication that they are off line.  So suggest that you try
again Later.  Looks like they are currently online thou.
