    Yeah that'd be right, good timing just as the BOINC Pentathlon is about to start.

    They are overdoing it: Firmware Upgrade: Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 14:00:00 UTC

    "A firmware upgrade will be performed on Tuesday, May 5th. World Community Grid will be performing a firmware upgrade starting Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 14:00:00 UTC. The window for this maintenance activity is estimated to be 6 hours, although we anticipate the actual outage time to be very short. During this firmware upgrade, the website will become unavailable and volunteer devices will not be able to send or receive research tasks for a few short periods of time. No action is required by the members, as the BOINC/World Community Grid software application will automatically reconnect to our servers once the upgrade is over.
    Thank you again for you participation in World Community Grid".

    We are at #20 at the moment, hope we do better on the new firmware!
