If all the required things are working to accept uploads, why cant I upload? I keep getting told that no-one's home at Boinc.

Thanks for any non-inflammatory answers as this is an honest question, not a dig at someone.

The servers are very likely still overloaded. This happens after every outage. After several days, I can only immagine what it is like with everyone hitting "update" as fast as they can :)

I see all my work units were uploaded and reported while I was at work but I know they weren't when I left (the servers had been up for several hours)

Toby is correct -- the good news is that every time someone gets a file through that client can quit pounding on the servers, and that means more time left for uploads.

My pending uploads went through this morning, so it looks like things are quieting down....

Yeah mine finally went through. I have 4 machines doing Seti packets and this one I am typing on is a P4 3.4Ghz with 1gig ram. I get normal packets done in around the 3 hour mark so I long ago ran out of work and had a hell of a lot to send back. I finally sent them all back last night after continually clicking "retry". In the midst of it, I was sent ONE - yes ONE - WU which was better than nothing and that has gone back, too. No more work now. I can understand WHY with people who normally do 1000s a day taking a great whack out of the WUs to be worked upon but boy I hope they fill the queues soon. I cant get any work out of them at all now though the 3 slower machines still have SOME work left (no I havent transferred them to the P4 as I am not sure how that is done. A simple copy of what I thought was the WU made Boinc crash all the time and removal of it fixed that) but they will run out soon too.

The BOINC system does not allow workunits to be transfered from one computer to another. This was done to prevent a certain type of cheat that was very popular in seti classic.
