    Well, hopefully those alien's radio transmissions aren't in one of the WUs that gets deleted then. Whoever decided to rule out backwards compatability between the new and the old client must be on drugs. I'm a bit miffed with the fact I'm going to need to get a 8 port router now, too. I've got a few old computers here running just for an extra WU or two a day I never bothered to have to have online. It looks like if I'm going to keep using them I'll need another router.

    Anyone try the Linux client?

    There's not really a need to stay online. I use dialup now and windoze ICS for mine (I hate it, I was on DSL for years, an early adopter). Once they're all converted the built-in caching should be OK. You just need to be online to down/upload and to change preferences.

    Also they send out WUs multiple times. Skipped ones aren't a problem.

    Well, thats good news then. So I guess really nothing has changed other than the fact that some of the add-on program's features have been integrated right into the client. It looks like I'll go ahead and upgrade when the page goes online tomorrow then.

    Does the new client log your stats like setispy does?

    Anybody managed to install the client by using 'boinc_cli -install', under Windows 2000 pro? Works fine under Windows XP, but can't seem to get it to work under Windows 2000.

    The error I get is:-
    CreateService failed - The specified service has been marked for deletion. (0x430)

    I'm having problems with it connecting to the serverr and downloading work units or cobblestones or whatever they're called now.

    So far I'm not impressed.

    Just in case anybody is interested I managed to get it to work. I used a different 'boinc_cli.exe' that somebody had compiled themselfs. Seems like the client from the current precompiled distribution has a glitch.

    I agree.. I have been 3 days without any work, and they are predicting another 2 to 3 days of no work..
    as a result I'm running classic ver. till they straighten this mess out.

    I figured that they would have anticipated the amount of people who join the project, and made sure that they could handle the load.

    We made some progress and are turning the project on. You may still have problems getting work. If that is the case, you might consider switching back to SETI@home Classic for the next few days.

    Seti Boinc web site: http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/

    You will get the project url when you activate your account: http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_email_form.php

    It won't take my login ID, or is that part of the server problem? If so I will just wait and check it later.
    Thanks for the help

    That is the one I am using and the login id that was sent via email. This is what Boinc tells me after it says failed to login to the URL and says check you id, which is copied and pasted from the email?
