Had you bothered to read this group, you would have seen that SETI
is down at the moment. Nobody is able to send or retrieve WU's.

 Actually, that's only half true (unless things have changed in the
last several hours).  I've been able to get new WU's. I just haven't
been able to send in any results.

Nope -- even when I cleared out my finished WU so SETI@Home could
retrieve one, it still didn't work. The new BOINC SETI@Home just
quietly sits here also, it cannot retrieve new data.

 Maybe you just caught it at a bad time.  During the "problem time" I was 
able to get more WUs (for "classic" S@H) more than once, but not return any 
results.

 IAC, everything seems to be back to normal today.  Was finally able to 
send in my 20-something results, and get a couple more WUs.

 BTW, it sounds like you're not using a queue/cache program.  You might 
want to consider one.  I'm using SetiQueue and having 20+ results waiting 
to be sent back didn't prevent it from retrieving more WU's.  No need to 
try to clear out finished WU's to get new ones or anything like that.
