I am up to 517 data units on my SETI at Home...

Still find myself staring at the screen hoping that maybe someday... something....

Did you switch to BOINC yet? The classic SETI will be shutting down soon. BOINC SETI is having growing pains but it gets more reliable every week. BOINC is a client for distributed computing, SETI@Home and Predictor@Home are using it now.

SETI@Home-BOINC

BOINC-Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

Predictor@Home is here but is shut down for maintenance at this time, it is in Alpha-test.

I had passed the 750 units mark just recently..

Last week I downloaded the new processor, the BOINC system..
Everything is automated now, contacts, uploads, downloads, smaller packet sizes, (for faster downloads) new "3D" screensaver, automatic software updates, etc...

The new system will keep records in a somewhat different manner, but will be able to process different types of information, and do additional "work", not just process signals.

Check out BOINC at the Seti@home website..
