so we have to quit at the end of seti classic at 600k+.
maybe there will be a possibility to crunch behind a proxy in the
future...

HTTP and SOCKS proxies are posible with boinc. The older versions <4.32 had some problems, but works very well with boinc 4.43 or 4.72.

that are good news...
why there are 2 versions of boinc?

Do you mean on the boinc download site ? - Boinc has released a new stable version (5.2.x), but the old stable version (4.x) will also be available for download.

i thougt you  have to update the client automatic and only the correct
version can get and send units?

Automatic download are only for the science apps (seti@home, LHC, einstein@home,...) posilble. The boinc client must be installed and updated by hand.
You must differ betwen the scheduler (boinc) which do upload/download and scheduling of the different science apps.
