Please provide detailed 'How To" instructions for making this switch to the Anonymous platform.
When do you anticipate the release of client version 7.26.0?

I suspect that many post authors could help themselves by checking the server status with a few clicks. Within the BOINC Manager application, and the Projects tab, select Asteroids@Home, and click on the Home Page button. At the Asteroids@home website, and under the Returning Participants section, click on the Server Status link. Much is revealed on this page. The server status has been all green for many months, suggesting that the hardware has been running well, and I'm guessing that a hardware upgrade or replacement has not happened, and I could speculate that maybe it is no longer needed.

On the Computing Status side of this same page, you can see the work units available, and in work. The Tasks ready to send is currently 0. This number is routinely 1,000,000 + when a new job is created. The work for the most recent job dried up on about June 23. All work that you received since this date is recycled from jobs that timed out with your peers. The Tasks in progress are 9836 (when I wrote this piece), and this number is routinely 400,000 + when we are all loaded up with work. Also note the Users in last 24 hours is 189, which I think is closer to 5000 when we are all up and running.

From my perspective, the 'system' is working just fine, but there is currently, and simply, no work to do.

Although "Server outage resolved" was posted ~2 hours ago, my completed tasks are still not uploading. I have suspended remaining tasks until uploads are completed.
