The SETI site is up and running.  The Data Server is also up but dropping
connections, In the last two hours I've managed to push through a single
completed WU

Well this is what the server status message keeps saying but I think they
are not telling the whole truth. Something more serious is happening. I've
been trying on and off for 8 hours now and haven't gotten a nibble. Anytime
in the past when you get that "dropping connections" message I've always
been able to get through after a few attempts.

I know enough about computers and digital communications to be realistic
about connectivity problems but I think the SETI project sometimes fails to
provide an adequate level of communication to its clients. After all we're
volunteers, and participation is our only reward. They owe us more.
