This afternoon I was able to upload 1 of 3 and download 2 new wu. It
took several trys to do this. I am sure the server is slowly catching
up. Great work SETI.
Since I have  work I turned off network connection until work needs
to upload. This way if all did this it wouldn't tax the server with
repeated request.
BOINC should put a set time interval in the next version like 1,5,10
30 minutes 1,2 hours only. This way Boinc won't contantly connect for
request in the shortest intervals.
I had 3 wu to upload and 2 downloads and all stopped and started
many times with a minute or two intervals before it increased to 15
minutes then an hour. I figure this to be wasted connections.
Do the SETI programmers have an email I send this info to .I don't
think they read these forums. Or maybe I'm wrong.
They already have the time set to incremently increase, but with the
thousands of users ALL trying to get in as soon as the database is
back up the only  thing to do is either open the pipe more, more
bandwidth on their end, or let us keep trying. What kind of a schedule
would accomodate over 70,000 individual users each with potentially
multiple computers? I have 15 currently crunching for Boinc/Seti.

I don't mind waiting...hey how about sparing 1 for the Kingdom of Jiffy team
;)
I thought we went thru this already?!
