Like you I am getting a trickle, but the results completed during the
outrage, then local network shutdown, still await uploading. Probably
like you.
I think my experience of the delay in uploading completed results, and
the Server Status showing no work awaiting validation, may indicate
another Berkeley side problem exists? :-((
I think that that is more suspiciously networking or protocols issues,
or an overload on the maximum number of simultaneous connections.
There are more handshaking steps required for uploading a result, so
there is a greater chance there for failure or timeouts. Downloading is
simpler and so those have a better chance to get through the DDOS attack
from a few hundred thousand WU hungry users all trying to phone home!
It will be interesting to hear what the devs find!

Martin
