I was running a public queue, and for those who were
connecting to me I want to assure you that all
packets were submitted before I took it offline. I just couldn't
keep up with the demand for packets
due to
the bandwidth problem at S@H. I was fortunate to
be able to upload all the data each evening,
but I
was unable to fill users queues with new work units.
For
those thinking of using one of the public setiqueue servers listed at http://www.setifaq.org/queue
Yes,
you do get the credit for the units you process. The only thing that
changes is where you send
and
receive your data. Instead of trying to connect with S@H, you connect with the public
server.
Bear
in mind that these servers still need to connect with S@H, and the first time you connect to
the
public
server it will need to authenticate your user information with S@H which during the daytime hours
can
take a bit of time. Once the server has confirmed your user information it
will begin filling a queue of
work
units for you. Your queue size is determined by the number of packets you
do on average per day.
The
server operator will set the server for the number of days worth of data to
queue for users.

Subject: Re: Seti Queue help
If I use the public server will I still receive credit for the wu I submit? I do not fully understand the process.
Yes, you still get the credit. The only negitive is if the person running the queue disappears without sending in your results. If you want, you can use mine at 24.234.15.121 port 5517 or check out the list at www.setifaq.org/queue
I think some of those listed have been swamped with requests so they might not
be taking connections. I currently have 20 wu in my queue if you need any.
