(moderation:
This is an anonymous ftp server for 'upload' purposes? The idea being that if an Einstein@Home user wants to give us some file, they can put it there? It seems like a sensible suggestion, though at the moment the E@h developers are stretched pretty thin, so I don't think we can do this right now.
If someone out there wants to volunteer an anonymous FTP upload/download site for this purpose, we'd be happy to use it and advertise it.
Cheers,

Thank you for the offer!
For debugging purposes we sometimes ask people for the Fstats.Ha and Fstats.Hb files. These can be tens of MB in size. So I'd guess that a few GB would give us a reasonable cushion.

Thank you very much for doing this.
In the next several days I am going to add a FAQ to the Einstein@Home front page. One of the questions is going to be 'what should I do if a workunit appears to be misbehaving'? The answer is going to be 'Post a note in the forums. The developers may ask to look at the work-in-progress, in which case please tar or zip the contents of the following directories, and transfer them to the anonymous FTP server'. In the long run, if this creates trouble for you or is unsustainable for some other reason, let me know and we'll find another alternative.
Cheers,
Bruce
