Does anyone know when seti will be online again?

Who cares??

I've been running Seti@home for over 5 years, 
have over 16,000 WUs completed, but I'm
SO damned tired of the server not connecting 
when I need to send and receive that I've 
decided to just quit.

You obviously don't remember the outage a couple of years ago when we
were down for a couple of WEEKS!
There are SEVERAL public queue's out there, do a search, that will let
you log on, send and receive workunits and you get the credit for
doing them, but they get all the headaches of connecting!
Quit if you'd like, but only blame yourself for not rolling with the
punches!
