As the title suggests, i can download data from the SETI@home project, but seem to be having problems uploading the results:

I should note that i have successfully uploaded data in the past - this problem has only surfaced in the last few days.

I am also processing Einstein@home data, and i can communicate properly with that project; thus, the problem lies in uploading to SETI@home /only/.

Now for the details:

$ ./boinc -version
5.2.8 i686-pc-linux-gnu

$ ping setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu
PING setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu (66.28.250.125) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 66.28.250.125: icmp_seq=1 ttl=244 time=88.6 ms
64 bytes from 66.28.250.125: icmp_seq=2 ttl=244 time=87.8 ms

As i am the network administrator here, i can assure you that there is no restrictive firewall in the way, so that's not the problem either.

I sat and watched one of the upload attempts as well. It opens the connection, appears to upload a tiny amount of data (in this case, 0.28/9.50KB), stalls, then times out a few minutes later.

Any ideas?

There have been known issues with the servers for a couple days. Coupled with the weekly outage for maintainence, and the seti classic database merge, uploads and downloads are SLOW if not impossible for everyone right now. More info is on the Technical News Page.
