If you haven't been checking the tech news (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_forum.php?id=21), here's the current status. We're rebuilding the Astropulse database. The current rate is an anemic 1.5 million rows per hour. There are 220 million rows left to do, which translates to 140 hours. Then I estimate it will take 24 hours to build the one remaining index necessary to create new work. That adds up to a week. I don't really understand why this is so slow. The disk array should easily handle twice that rate.

Sorry the news couldn't be better. There's always the SETI@home fundraiser at bitcoinutopia (http://www.bitcoinutopia.com/2014/11/setihome-annual-fund-drive/). Or you could choose a worthy backup project (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php)
