Their new server machine may be getting a good thrashing for a 
little while yet!

That's probably a serious under-statement. I've no idea about actual 
numbers  but according to my *ultra conservative* calculations, if 
10,000 subscribers have on avg 10 wu's to upload, that's 100,000 wu's 
to upload & 100,000 downloads to replace them.

Be patient. This is all part of the fun of expanding a major 
research project on a shoestring budget.


Part of the good features of Boinc is that you can simultaneously 
subscribe to other projects to keep your machine usefully busy if 
your primary favoured project is offline for whatever reason.

Happy crunchin',
