i dont have a boinc client installed by now, so i am only reading
messaging about upload download wu problems and sometimes the problem
is, that the boinc client is to old and there is an update...

There was some problems with the servers and storage systems, which results in the problem that up- and downloads. Seti had a lot of maintainance time needed (offline) to fix this problems.
There was a lot of messages in the board in these times...

But the benefit from boinc with seti is the queueing mechanism, which prefents from the need of connection to the servers. - But many user hasn't set this queue right (higher), that outages can be buffered by the WU cache. And so there was affected of this outages, and posted this heavly in the forums...

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

You can use use all the boinc clients with version 4 and 5 for seti. Only the version 3 boinc clients don't work any project.
All the seti apps with version 4 will work together with the seti project.

The seti science app will be automaticly downloaded and updated, if you have a OS which be supportet from berkeley (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Solaris).
If you use on from the third party site, you must update the seti app manualy.

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.

if we would install boinc at the end of classic, do we have to update
all clients manually or will this be automatic. i dont have time to
install every update manually!!

This feature is planed. But can not say, if it will be ready to the end of classic.

What is about and update by a script ? - The boinc installation are not may steps, and could be easly do by a script. - Which OSes do you have ?
