Is there a BOINC mirror?

[earthman]

I have been trying to download BOINC for days, it keeps erroring out...is there somewhere else than the BOINC page that has this? (Linux x86 version)

Don't think so, looks like if BOINC is down, everything else that depends on it goes down too, forums as well 🙁 Bit of a bummer for the other projects, hope they get this fixed.
Pain in the arse if the main project goes down and takes the rest with it 🙂

Boinc should be back up some time tonight or tomorrow

You can also download the BOINC core client from Predictor@home
http://predictor.scripps.edu/download.php

Of course, you can't connect to seti before they are up again. 😉

Personally, I just set my profile to 99% SETI and 1% Predictor on BOINC. That way, during 'dry' times from S@H, at least I'm doing something valuable and don't have to worry about fiddling with clients.

Of course, the fact that I've now done nearly as much Predictor work as S@H is rather indicative of how often SETI is down. 😛

Till v4 is released, the sharing between projects isn't working as it should, so therefore you're often asking for more Predictor-work even you're out of seti-work. The short deadlines on some predictor-work is probably an added reason for the disrepancy, since most connect the scheduler reporting back done work, and often will ask for more work at the same time...
