Is SETI@home Down ?

Is SETI@home Down? A checklist :

  1. Could it be SETI@home's weekly 3-5 hours long scheduled Tuesday Maintenance Outage ?
  2. Could it be a problem with your ISP or with your own equipments ?
  3. Check the servers' status (if accessible) at https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_server_status.php ...
  4. Is SETI@home unreachable for other users too ? https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/setiathome.berkeley.edu.html ...
  5. Is UC Berkeley having network problems or maintenance ? http://systemstatus.berkeley.edu/
  6. Howl at the Moon and/or Burn your hair (optional).
  7. Check for possible status reports at https://twitter.com/BerkeleySETI 
  8. Check for possible status reports at https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleySETI/ ...
  9. A thread (if accessible) where  usually the first signs of panic appear : The Server Issues / Outages Thread - Panic Mode On! ... which is now in its 118th session https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84983 (the 119th is around the corner)...
  10. The 2nd place of choice if SETI@home is down is The SETI is Down Café Thread https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8105&sort_style=5&start=0 ...
  11. If BOINC is also down (UC Berkeley being in charge for both projects' servers),  the Seti Refuge Bar and Bistro Wing of Cafe Einstein is the usually the next goto place :  https://einsteinathome.org/content/seti-refuge-bar-bistro-wing-cafe-einstein ...
  12. This active SETI@home Facebook group sometimes nails it:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/317689381579505/ ... 
  13. If you're desperate enough, and if the previous suggestions didn't quite work, why not rely on Richard's Maneuver ? Go to the local bar until things eventually settle down one way or the other.
