Read some of the other threads. Basicly he expected to have sites mirroring the download when the new client was released, but it didn't happen. He's trying to get some other mirrors from volunteer with sufficient bandwith for future client and protein switchovers. The current problem should be gone in a day or so. What's happening is everyone is attempting to upload their structures at once and the server is getting overloaded. A power outage of this scale is highly unusual and I would not expect that the server would every be down for a significant period due to the same reason again. In another day or so, the server should be functioning normally again.Originally posted by TyOI

The power outage yesterday has only made a bad problem even worse
any chance you can comment or advise on these problems
when this new client was released it took almost 3 hours before one could connect to obtain a download, then it took three attempts before a working download could be obtained - now one cannot connect to the server to upload - this client is so fast those with fast connections seem to be hogging the servers so us with poorer connections cannot even get a connection - this is obvious by the amount of work that is going up
these problems of being able to download a new client and upload the results need to be looked into and the above is the reason i do not commit the full power of the S-MDC to the project as i would never be able to upload its work with the type of connection i have
