This good news from the project admin posted on January 14, 2021

Sorry, I've been meaning to find a way to communicate this.
We had a hard drive crash. We had to get approval for a new one, it has now been ordered, and we are just waiting for it to arrive. I am told it should be installed sometime next week.

Thank you for reply.
Strange that only one HDD can cause a full malfunction of a whole project. They have several server, all is down, unreachable.
I have hundreds of WU already finished, but now, out expiration date !!!
So we will wait.

The whole project is on a single SSD, so there is only one server. Should be just a couple more days to get the new drive.

Just an update... the new drive has still NOT arrived. I am being told a few more days. I'm not sure why it takes so long to deliver a package. I have no control over this and it is very frustrating.

Hello Eric, thank you for update. I hope (also a lot of users) that the already crunched but not returned will stay valid (deadline)
We will waiting.

The website is back up! https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/forum_thread.php?id=483&postid=2994
There's still lots to fix up on the site, but old pre-crash wu's have uploaded and validated and new work is available for download.
