Hi,
Yes, A@H server is out of work until more are generated, this happens now and then..

Unfortunate about the competition...

Sorry, but this happens way too often. It seems like the manager of this project does not really do a good job and possible does not even care about the thousands of crunchers who have invested their computing time in this project. For me, it is very disappointing and discouraging.

Hi Fr. Micka,

The project lead has had to start over from scratch in a new job, with few resources. In my view he's doing ok.

Nearly every project I've crunched for has problems, including a lack of WU and or being offline or other server problems.
Regards,
Cliff
