Are you using BOINC, or the old client?
The SETI servers crash quite often (too often is you ask me), if you use BOINC, you could add another project, like Einstein@home, or predictor@home. That way, when the SETI srvers are down, it just continues with another project, so your PC won't be out of work.
Here is the info needed to join the ATS team for other BOINC projects.

If you still use the old client, you should download BOINC, the old seti@home project is about to end.

thanks for that, i'll check it out when i have time
