Whats up with your server? I tried since 3am in the morning to reach the boinc-server at lhcathome.cern.ch. Every hour the access is interrupted. 5pm my hosts says something about lost connection to server and/or check your proxy-settings. I pinged your server and get absolutly nothing. IP couldn't resolved is also not listed in dns.
Your serverstatus-page is also a bad joke. Your Upload/Download and Scheduler is disabled since a long time but units comes and goes?
IMO, seems to be that most government-based projects acts not as professional as it should be. Every business that acts like yours could normally close his doors and switch off the lights.
I hope we will be informed what happened in the last 24hrs.

It's not. The download/upload server is the same that hosts the forums etc. so if it was really disabled, the server status page wouldn't even load.

IMO, you should crack open a beer and chill. First of all, we aren't trying to make a profit; we're trying to make a Large Hadron Collider. Second, science can be messy sometimes; get used to it. Third, LHC@home doesn't really need to worry THAT much about "customer satisfaction" -- our user base is very strong, and most of us are pathologically dedicated to this project.

I hope you have patience with LHC@home and crunch along with us now and in the future!

:) He/ she is correct you know ;) all of us crunchers at LHC are pathologically nut cases and we also crunch not for credits :( God only knows what kicks we get out of crunching LHC. ;) you can also get hooked. Welcome to the Club.
