We are aware of significant network slow-down between the subnet upon which our servers sit and the Internet beyond the UW campus. We are working with the UW's Network Operations team to pinpoint the cause. We apologize for the frustration caused. -KEL

Edit: I created an account called HardOCPtest so that anyone whom wanted to test or contribute anonymously could do so.

to attach a computer to your account without using the BOINC Manager.
To do so, install BOINC, create a file named account_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml in the BOINC data directory, and set its contents to:
<account>
<master_url>www.http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/</master_url>
<authenticator>3f202525440275967a6f88630ddd8a09</authenticator>
</account>

Looks like the issues have been resolved, if you can call it an issue - what actually appears to have happened is a huge swath of new users joined the project due to it now being bundled with a new DC platform and it caused a big logjam as their servers were pushed beyond their concurrent connection limits almost continuously. It's good news though if it means more cycles for a worthy cause!

Charity Engine has been around for a while now (at least a few years). For some reason I was thinking it was already attached to Rosetta@home. Was this just recently attached or was it that CE just wasn't requesting work?

I have hit my 1 million point goal. On to the next one.

Looks like they took their servers down for a few days to migrate. When they come back up they should finally be using the updated BOINC server code.
