Only 1 week of not beign able to uoload or download? Its been 2 weeks for me, with a constant ASDL
connection and I just tried to go to the SETI web site it the connection was refused.
Sounds like more than server choke to me.

The server is going to be down for the next 2 Wednesdays for a short
time each day. It is announced on the home page.

That and the outages backlog is part of the problem.

However, Berkeley also had a DNS change for one or more of their servers. This seems to have broken some of the Cogent routing:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=18042 has some proxy info in it.
http://www.publicproxyservers.com/page1.html has some US based free proxies there also.

This is pretty clearly a routing problem -- traceroutes from Cogent's own sites work from five, fail from the other two. It is right on the edge between Cogent and Berkeley CNS....

Also, you could try as a temporary fix:

Try putting in there IP address rather than the URL, that works for me when it reaches the scheduler but will not turn on wotk.

128.32.18.173

That would be under TOOLS/OPTIONS/HTTP Proxy

Good luck,
