From the Boinc/Seti front page:

November 15, 2005

The old SETI@home Classic project will stop issuing work on December 15,

Anyone have any idea how long they'll keep accepting results after they
stop sending out WUs?

I'd assume no more than two weeks as that is about how long before all
of the WUs would have expired. 

That's an assumption based on the deadline for boinc-seti WUs.

Seti-Classic has no timeout on the WUs sent.

As discussed on the Boinc forums, the only reason to continue with seti-Classic from now on is only if you are desperate to reach some milestone. Any further seti-Classic results very likely do not get added to the science database any more (the merge of the classic and boinc-seti databases is in progress now).


There has been one comment that the seti-Classic stats will be _frozen_ on 15 Dec 2005...


Happy crunchin',
