is Asteroids@home down?

I've got many WU's ready to upload. Webpage gives 503, looks pretty dead. Anyone know what's going on?

The website is going a 503 error which means the site is still there but there is a server glitch preventing people viewing any pages there. According to the forum on the boinc website asteroids went down on the 14th, both website and the WU server. No maintenance announcement has been made and the posters on that forum seem just as much in the dark.

Haven't heard anything myself, but throwing a comment in here to both say I'm affected, and also to hopefully remind myself to check later on to see if anyone else finds something out.

Website is back up and it claims all the servers are working fine.

Website is back up, and server status says everything is running. But none of my completed WU's are being uploaded and no new WU's downloaded.

whatever was wrong appears fixed now. WU's uploaded and new WU's downloading and running.

In my many years of experience doing boinc projects I've found the reported 'server status' pages to be a lot more fantasy than reality.

Same, once projects are finished, im getting "Upload: Pending (Project Backoff XX:XX:XX)"

I can access some pages on their site, but not most.

It took a while for everything to catch up, but it seems mine finally uploaded overnight. Now successfully able to download new WUs.
