Wherever you are? A while back there was a post that WCG was going off-line. I noticed the Stats are still being updated - February 2023??? As I'm more interested in medical projects, I opted for SiDock prior to being kidnapped and smuggled into Scotland in early December. Since getting back home in January I had been hoping, in addition to SiDock, to re-join WCG. However, after several recent tries, It would seem the proggie is still down as all attempts to download give an error? As I'm not on any social networks like FB has anyone got any info on if / when it may be back online?

This is from their Facebook page on March 6th........
Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend. We are still working with data centre to resolve the hardware failure so we can restart the storage, BOINC and website ASAP. We will post updates as we receive them. Thank you for your patience. Update: Unfortunately, additional hardware problem on the storage server besides the RAID card are preventing us from restarting. Working with the data center on the alternative solutions. Update #2: Unfortunately, the RAID controller was not the root cause of our storage system failure, the PCI bus failed. Data center is in the process of moving the disks to an alternate system and we will post updates as we progress. Once again, thank you for your patience. Update #3: As of this morning, the data center continues to work on booting the temporary replacement DSS 7000 storage system. They are attempting multiple alternative strategies to resolve current failures. Update #4: The "new" system did recognize the data hardware RAIDs. All have been rebuilt, and the data center is attempting to repair the OS drives/RAID.
Update #5: The storage server was revived yesterday late afternoon. Both database filesystems mounted as before, but the science filesystem did not. It needs a repair; erasing the old log first.
Its not looking good. Since Krembal took over the project from IBM, support has been very poor to say the least.

👍 👍 Thanks 888 for the info update. As said, not being on any social media could not find upto date info.
Strangely enough, had just managed to download the WCG proggie only to find zilch tasks to crunch and had logged in to find your info update.
Will keep trying as my old lappie is struggling with SiDock. Task times have been horrendous, in many cases at well over 4 days to complete.
