Sometimes and that's the unfair bit. Some teams have more than one participant.

Just checking the Top Teams page , all teams either have 1 or 0 members. I believe the teams were created by importing from BOINC Wide Teams, so only the Founder is listed as a member. I tried joining the team, even manually editing the URL, but it will not work.
Also, is anyone else having really slow downloads of the tasks? If I leave it to boinc to get the input file, it takes several hours. So when I see one in the Transfer tab, I suspend network access, create a copy of client_state.xml, open it and copy/paste the url of the file into a download manager which only takes about 45-60 minutes to d/l the task. Then transfer the full input file into the project folder, re-enable the network access in boinc and it happily states file already exists.
After trying to read the forums on the site, and having them not load, I ran some tests. It appears there is a malfunctioning router between me and the project. Entering a proxy into the browser and boinc changes the path and gives much better speed to the site.
Edit: Received a task and the d/l using proxy took 35 seconds.

Yes you're right BobCat13, my bad!
Is this project down or is my connection acting up again?
I can't get boinc or a browser to connect, proxy or sans proxy.
