Now what? My screensaver tells me BOINC is idle.

Benchmark test seems to indicate it's at BOINC's end, which I presume means they're likely already aware of it:

David – You may want to monitor this link and this link which are both listed within the official SETI@Home web site. Hopefully the S@H problems will clear themselves shortly.

Dave, no offense intended, just a comment or two; BOINC and SETI are two separate things, although both are from the same source, UCB. The messages above indicate a problem at SETI, which is known, and covered at the SETI boards, the SETI front page, status page, and the SETI technical news, as Tom pointed out. BOINC, to the best of my knowledge, has no problem at this time - if you were attached to some other project, you'd be getting work.

Also... "benchmark test"? Not sure where that came from, but it's irrelevant to all of the above. Please do not "run benchmarks" from the BOINC menu unless your benchmark values on a project web site show considerably lower than "normal" for your computer. Doing so can cause errors in executing WUs, etc. - obviously not an issue if BOINC is idle, but still...

Dave,

If you only have SETI@Home attached, and the project is down, you cannot get work. This is the case at the moment. If you want to do work in the mean time, you can attach to another project.

Using the link below, you can look at the material we have for the various projects, including links to the project sites.

We also have extensive documentation on messages so you can look at each and evey one and get details on what each of them is telling you.

In the Owner's Manual we cover the basics of the use of the BOINC Manager. New material is added virtually every day (some days more than others), with corrections added as we learn of the weaknesses. So, you can also find amusement in seeing what we made a mistake on earlier ... and there is also, as Dr. Brown told Marty, "a slight chance of overload ..."

2,500 pages or so, no waiting ...
