Hosting Problems For distributed.net

Yoda2 writes "I've always found the distributed.net client to be a scientific, practical use for my spare CPU cycles. Unfortunately, it looks like they lost their hosting and need some help. The complete story is available on their main page but I've included a snippet with their needs below: 'Our typical bandwidth usage is 3Mb/s, and reliable uptime is of course essential. Please e-mail [e-mail] if you think you may be able to help us in this area.' As they are already having hosting problems, I hate to /. them, but their site is copyrighted so I didn't copy the entire story. Please help if you can." Before there was SETI@Home, Distributed.net was around - hopefully you can still join the team.

"I hate to /. them but..."?

You've now got 10,000 readers hovering over the link, "Ooh, should I, shouldn't I?", then thinking f**k it and clicking anyway.

A slow, painful, prolonged, /.'ing ;o)

OMG, hang on!!!

No, they can't shut down yet! I [distributed.net] have to break 10,000 in the rankings!

Good Lord, what shall I do? :(

Can you imagine them hitting 100% and realizing that due to a software bug, the correct key was already found but no one realized it?

Sorry, my CPU time is taken.

You know, I would help out with all this distributed computing stuff, but my spare CPU cycles are all taken up running multiple instances of Progress Quest [progressquest.com].
