This shows the status and demand on the Internet pipe out of Berkeley,
mainly associated with SETI at Home. The hourly graph suggests this has
been a problem since between about 10.00 am or 11.00 am yesterday (GMT).

This possibly affects SETI/BOINC as well? Any SETI/Boinc users care to
comment? Can you guys upload and download?

At this moment (06.55 UTC) I have still 4 machines crunching their
last bits. They'll run outta work sooner or later today unless they
fix that cable again :-(
It looks like I'll have to set Boinc/Seti to its max caching
capacity.... lately it's been up & down like a yoyo!

That'll fix the problem!!!! NOT LIKELY!!! You set your cache at the
max of 10 days, workunits expire in 14 days. You will only connect to
Berkeley every 10 days, Berkeley goes down and you are stuck with a
ton of unreportable and then expired workunits! Tell me again how
raising your cache is better!!
Just think Einstein, it has plenty of work and will keep your computer
busy during the outages. Just set your priorities for something like
90% Seti and 10% Einstein. You will crunch for Seti and then only 10%
ofthe time you will also be crunching for Einstein. Why Einstein,
because it is the only project with workunits right now. All the rest
of the DC projects are sufferring because Seti is down too!
