Uploading problem and screen saver problem

The BOINC manager(Local host), this is a scarp program, it takes 2,3 hrs to transfer 16Mb, it shows that the rate of transfer is 800KB/second, but it takes2.3 hrs to download a file for three days the same problem is persisting, Surprising this problem was never there with the SETI classic system. I suppose the people producing this program or administering these should pay some attention to the user friendly program, other who on earth will sit for 2 hrs for this short transfer which should not take more than few minutes to the most. I am so surprised that the program operators are not paying any attention towards their useless scarp program which they give us to work on.
The screen save on the whole crashes two times a day and to set it right, I have to switch and reboot the computer.This is another scrapy from a big name.
