I getting my hopes up for no reason or is this normal.




Most of these types of units are suffering from background interference eg:-
emissions from local radio stations or a plane flying overhead and spoiling
the observation, you might find that some units start and only go for a few
minutes and then finish due to so much rubbish in the signal you will still
get the credit for doing them so you get a bonus point :)

Also every once in a while seti@home send out reference units that check the
calibration on your machine, these can finish abruptly as well.
