I thought the problem was not that they had run out of data but there
was a problem with the server.
According to their main page:
'Our "data pipeline" is not flowing at top speed yet, so we're sending
out the same work units (mostly recorded Jan 7 and Jan 8) repeatedly.
This will be fixed shortly'.
Not sure what they mean by that.
My desktop PC has gone back to finding factors.
By the way, this discussion doesn't really belong on the Mersenne
list. Is there a SETI mailing list or has anyone thought about setting
one up?
