	i downloaded the program a few hours ago and it won't move past "downloading work from server". Any Suggestions? It is Tuesday afternoon / evening. There is a regularly scheduled maintenance outage on Tuesdays. Generally it takes a couple of days to clear the backlog of requests and downloads after the outage. There are three different things you can do about this. 1) Add a few other BOINC projects. 2) Increase the size of your queue. (Helps a bit next time.) 3) Just wait it out. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	1) Add a few other BOINC projects. This is what I did... I currently have SETI set to 75%, but it's currently returning about 35%. 2) Increase the size of your queue. (Helps a bit next time.) Tried this. Mostly unsuccessfully. On this PC (quad core), I currently have 1 SETI unit running and none "ready to run". Under SETI@Home computing preferences... Network usage Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least: 0.5 days (max 10 days). Default is 0.1 days. ... and up to an additional: 0.5 days Default is 0.2 days (IIRC). 3) Just wait it out. Yup. See suggestion #1 so your PC can continue crunching... Good luck, Arryn
