Basically what they are suggesting, is, that everyone wanting to use B.O.I.N.C should give
each individual Client machine a direct Internet Access via Proxy.

Don't you think that this has to do with the upgrade ability of the
client? I mean if they don't have direct internet access to our
machine how can they upgrade the client for us?

Too bad they don't/did not realize that this is impossible for many Users :(
It also doesn't solve the Problem of each single machine having to make a such, direct
Internet Connection when its work is finished.

I don't think they were planning for a business environment yet.

...just imagine all the Clients from fairly large Networks needing to go online via Proxy
individually, throughout day and night, without User presence, interaction or intervention
possible or available :p

Certainly not the way I could accept to see my Network operating... :(

But you have multiple computers doing the processing. In the past Seti
has purposely slowed down the client so as to not overwhelm their
servers. Yes queues helped them but only by a small amount.
If you think of this as being an individual donating their processing
time then what they are doing is okay.  The problem is alot of us
don't fit into that category!
