Changes in Version 3.06 of SETI@home

Windows version 3.06 is a special Windows release. It fixes a bug in the GUI client which prevented automatic retries after an unsuccessful attempt to connect to the server while in screensaver mode. This bug was brought to light and exacerbated by the current bandwidth crisis.

Version 3.06 has a couple of other minor changes:

  • It fixes a typo in HTTP headers. This may enable SETI@home to work through transparent proxies. If you are behind a transparent proxy and version 3.06 is still unable to connect, please email us.
  • Some workunits produce large (> 60KB) result files. Previous versions can't send these files, so users don't get credit (and, since our server doesn't get results, it keeps sending the work units over and over). This is fixed.

The previous Windows release was version 3.03.
