My setup works fine with Mandrake 10.2 but I don't connect to same server as you ...

2005-06-05 18:44:39 Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi
2005-06-05 18:46:18 Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded

but SETI servers seems quite slow today.

The problem solved by itself, just keep the client running after 24 hrs you will notice its downloaded its 1st job.
