Hi everybody from Italy....
I have a little problem:

I have changed the preferences for my pc ( in the last I have set 10 Gigabyte disk space for seti program, and a connection for the boinc server every 3 days... ) I have a Pentium4 3200MHz and it can process two workunits together.
Before there was the recent problem on the boinc server, I usually dowloaded 8 10 workunits, but now I'm not able to downoload more than 1 workunit at time.
Is there anybody who can help me to solve this problem....
Thank You a lot in advance...
ps Sorry for my english, I hope I write all right.
Greetings frome Rome, Italy.

Just be patient - there just isn't enough work to go round at the moment but it will gradually get better.

It's a lot better than my Italian. :)

What seti-cruncher said...

Many machines want to crunch seti WUs. (186,000+)
Seti was turned off for many hours/days recently.
These machines now have empty stomachs.
They all are demanding to be fed at the same time.
Seti cannot make WUs fast enough to feed them ;)

Yup!, but i think everything is back to normal. And nice PC by the way:)

Things aren't entirely back to normal yet, but they are sloooooowly getting there. We are still catching up from the past week or so - clients are all slamming our data server not that we're back on line. I had to tune it down a bit so the server wouldn't spiral out of control - this might actually speed things up in the long run.

Thanks for the update, Matt. You know, it really makes a heck of a difference when you guys talk to us.

Goofy, Benehr, Mini, Matt & Ned...
Thank you very much!
I don't have think that 'big computers' asks for many workunits...
I'll be patient.
I appreciate yours interesting to solve this problem.
Anyway I work for Alenia Spazio, an Italian major company for project building and tests satellites; I've worked on many National and European Space Agency programs ( ARTEMIS SATELLITE was the last, launched from Kourou, French Guyana in Summer 2000 ).
I'm actually the responsible for the mechanical activity, integration & test in Cosmo SkyMed Project, with an eye on Galileo, the new European GPS System.
So the passion for the research is the same for all of us, active members of this beautiful and interesting project.

PS for Miniziper: Thanks for writing 'nice PC' hehehe!!

May the lucky be with you

A great Ciao frome ROME.
