SETI@Home

[TRILL]

Anyone else having trouble with their SETI@Home client? Mine won't send the completed data unit or retrieve a new one. I can't access the web page so maybe their servers are down.

SETI@HOME is down at the moment, and Iceman points out what happened.

At about 3:30 AM PST on 27 February an optical fiber cable connecting the U.C. Berkeley campus

with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was cut,

apparently by vandals trying to "salvage" copper from other nearby cables. .. [shakes head]

[TRILL]

Thanks. I was thinking it was something on my end.

This is what I got from their website:

Fiber cut silences SETI@Home

At about 3:30 AM PST on 27 February an optical fiber cable connecting the U.C. Berkeley campus with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was cut, apparently by vandals trying to "salvage" copper from other nearby cables.

The broken fiber carries data and voice connections for LBNL and also for the Space Sciences Lab. SSL is where the SETI@Home project is located, so the millions of participants helping to analyze data have been unable to contact the SETI@Home servers for more than a day.

Contractors are pulling new cable now. It's expected that service to SSL will be restored by Friday, 2 March 2001. We'll update this page as we learn more about the progress of the repairs.
