The LIGO Scientific Collaboration Calibration Team has released the final (v3) calibration information for the S3 data run. In the next several days we will be replacing our current search data set (which uses the v2 calibration) with the v3 version.

A BOINC bug in the scheduler meant that for a period of about 10 hours users got server messages saying 'low' and 'high' (rather than the actual message)! This has been fixed.

We have started using a mirrored download server at the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) in Golm bei Potsdam, near Berlin, Germany. Hosts whose timezone offset from UTC is closer to UWM (UTC-7 hours) will continue to get data and executables from UWM. Those hosts whose offset from UTC is closer to the AEI (UTC+1 hour) will get data and executables from AEI. This should give faster and more reliable downloads for everyone. Note that if a download fails from the first server, the alternate will also be tried. Please report any problems or strange behavior to the message boards.
