SETI-BOINC has been running several hours (started about midnight, as
far as I can see), and peak bandwidth demand seems to be over (bandwidth
settling at about 45-50 Mbps from about 90 Mbps)). 

Why is it still so difficult to connect and upload results and download
work units to crunch?

Different PCs on my small farm seem to have fared differently. In all
cases none of the completed WU results seem to have been sent yet. This
is despite BOINC Manager showing the connection attempts, but the
Systray connection icon shows no broadband activity. 

However, in a couple of cases PCs have succeeded in downloading work
(and are crunching). In other cases no downloads have been achieved, so
no crunching. 

This is despite being booted up and running online (ADSL) for several
hours.

Because there are over 100,000 of us with over 400,000 computers ALL
trying to connect AT THE SAME TIME!
Over the next couple of days things should settle down.
