My machine is starting uploads. No new WU's thus far though.

Same here now, uploaded about five (out of 30) but no downloads.

Have uploaded 3 of 4 but no downloads yet.  Uploads frequently fail,
according to the log file, and have to be restarted.

24 hours later I have managed to upload *one* more unit (from 30 on this
machine and 25 on another) and download zero. Other machine's on it's last
WU, this one still has a few to go as I've been running classic on it some
days to eek out the cache.

The good thing about Windows XP is you can have BOINC and the Easy SETI
CLI package set up at once and the SETI CLI only gets CPU cycles (if set
to idle) when BOINC has no work. On 98SE (the only other MS OS I have
here) even set to idle the CLI gets about 25% cycles and BOINC 75%.

It was slow but I finally got 4 completed WU's uploaded and 3 new ones
downloaded, one running.
