I'm trying to use http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
as the Project URL, plus my account ID as advised via email. Is that
Project URL correct? 

That's what I used.

That takes me to the stats page.  There is a header with a link to
information about BOINC but I've yet to find a download link.


Did you get to http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_participate.php
under participate under seti from the boinc page?  I think that's what 
you want.

I finally got there around 3:00 AM and it downloaded around noon.
I installed it, but it never asked for either the project URP  or
account key.  It did do the benchmark tests, said resuming network and
computation, but nothing after that.

I reinstalled BOINC on top of the original installation and it worked
fine, asking for the above inputs right at the beginning. Well, other
than using the parameters I had put in it used the defaults any way.

It *seems* to be working well.

However, they really, really... need to find some one who knows how to
write "end user" manuals and instructions, based on what the users is
likely to search on, such as preferences.  When they do, they want to
find *how* to change them, not that they can change them.

The only manuals I've seen that required you already know what is
going on more so, are the old IBM manuals.
