SETI@home is a scientific experiment that harnesses the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.	NEW! SETI@home store!

• CONNECTION PROBLEMS FROM SOME UK ISPs: Several ISPs in the .uk domain have installed transparent proxies that do not support SETI@home communication protocols. If you are having problems connecting from a .uk domain, contact your ISP and request that they add an HTTP bypass for the server shserver.ssl.berkeley.edu, or that they provide you with an address and port number for their proxy. We will be addressing the problem of non-compliant transparent proxies in the next SETI@home release.

• UNAUTHORIZED PATCHES TO CLIENT: It has come to our attention that some users are distributing unauthorized patches to the SETI@home client. We cannot verify that these patches function properly and are virus free. It is very important to the science of SETI@home that you run only the unmodified SETI@home program.
