With SETI, you could use applications like SETI Driver which gave you many options such as :
- Running two processes ( for Dual CPU rigs because SETI isn't multi-threaded )
- Logging results & analysis stats in an Exell file
- Caching work-units ( downloading more then one unit at a time allowing to crunch for the next five days without connecting for example )
If the UD server happens to be down for maintenance or anything of the such, you can't upload your results or download any new units. It doesn't happen very often but often enough to have a caching possibility.
Why don't you contact them via e-mail expressing these concerns and perhaps they will be addressed? Stranger things have happened....
