S@H seem to be running on a rather odd timescale:-) The website was down
for a damm sight longer than 2 hours, and the servers have croaked again as
well.

Boinc has been trying to send 4 results to S@H since early yesterday. And it
cant
get any WU either, so it looks as if there is some major problem with the
whole
works:-/ Methinks BoincS@H came out of beta a wee bit too soon as far as the
infrastructure was concerned.

There have been problems from day 1... some of them IMO forseeable..given
the length of time classic S@H ran and the problems experienced during that
time.
