I tried to go to the Stardust@home project page and I received this message:

Unexpected large volume of traffic? You have got to be kidding me. The thought that they didn't expect a lot of traffic is... um... sad? They emailed all that pre-registered best I can tell. I believe I read that the number was over 100,000 people. (Not sure where I saw that).
Truth is, I expected delays with this. But their comment that they did not was surprising.
