I have been successfully using BOINC with seti@home for about a month now. Over this past weekend though, BOINC suddenly lost its ability to connect to the servers. Essentially, my computer finished all the tasks that it had previously downloaded and it can't upload the results or download new tasks. This seemed to happen at night, when I wasn't even using my computer. Help?

Seti is a project, with its own home page. Going there, you'll see the news that:

Seti home page wrote:
Upload Server Issues

Our upload server is having disk problems. We converted a recently donated server (synergy) to temporarily handle uploads, but you may still have trouble connecting due to heavy demand.

As such. You'll have to wait, just as we all wait. In the mean time, if your computer is no longer processing work, consider running a secondary or tertiary project.
