Hosting Problems For distributed.net

Yoda2 writes "I've always found the distributed.net client to be a scientific, practical use for my spare CPU cycles. Unfortunately, it looks like they lost their hosting and need some help. The complete story is available on their main page but I've included a snippet with their needs below: 'Our typical bandwidth usage is 3Mb/s, and reliable uptime is of course essential. Please e-mail dbaker@distributed.net if you think you may be able to help us in this area.' As they are already having hosting problems, I hate to /. them, but their site is copyrighted so I didn't copy the entire story. Please help if you can." Before there was SETI@Home, Distributed.net was around - hopefully you can still join the team.

Straight off Distributed.net's main page:
"Unauthorized Worm: We have recently learned that an infectious worm has begun circulating around the Internet deploying copies of our dnetc client. If you are looking for information relating to this worm then visit our trojan page. "

As opposed to your "authorized" worms?!?

Dnet, is it useful ?

What has it accomplished besides searching a keyspace with a known length and golumb rulers? Seti@home, cancer research, or that distributed raytracing screen saver is far more more useful.
