You can always check the Server status for the amount of work the servers have on hand. From the Results ready to send row.
At the moment there does seem to be little work on the servers & the AP database is offline again for some unknown reason.

Message 1631289 - Posted: 22 Jan 2015, 17:39:58 UTC - in response to Message 1630872.  

Spud with the type of systems your using for seti you would be better off retiring the machines you have and build a modern machine with a couple of good GPU's . You will use less power and save money on your electric bills than running the 5 single core machines you are running

My Rac is from 1 machine with 2 1/2 desent GPU's

I have a older Quad core machine with a older GPU and it still gives about 7,000 for a RAC

I would build a much better machine and if cash is a problem then buy the parts over the next six months . you will save a few bucks on your power bills if you do
