Is OK's SetiQ down?

[TuffGuy]

It seems to be down, and my remote rigs haven't uploaded anything in a while. I probably lost ~6 WUs so was.

According to Soni's SetiQueue page it went down some time between 12:30 and 1:30am GMT (Soni is one hour ahead of UK time)

Yes, for some reason it died.............but it is alive for now

Thanks.

If they were not able to connect, they should have just continued crunching and tried to re-submit the results later, right?

Not quite. Each remote client downloads ONE unit, and once it finishes processing it, it uploads the result and grabs another unit. If the remote server is down, it just idles while trying to connect every hour.

If at all possible, it is often useful to have Setidriver along with your grabbing WUs from Setiqueue just in case the queue is down or your network connection goes away... Believe you me, sh%t happens with machines and knowing the amount of traffic that OK's gets, it's bound to choke every once in awhile.
