A word of warning, some people get really angry if you call 'Seti BOINC' 'boink' or 'bionic'. There was a troll who used to do that so some old timers get suspicious and short tempered :/ Edit: corrected link Need help? Check out the excellent Unofficial BOINC-Wiki! 'We are the BOINC.

It is sending a request to the boinc servers, but the servers are not responding with data. The reasons for this are outlined on the home page. You may also want to keep an eye on the status page: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_status.html (you will notice that at the moment some of the services are disabled) M ID: 159811 ·
