    With the final analysis of this project complete, I do wonder if there's a way to bring it back with distributed agents doing the part that was so time-intensive for researchers that they had to kill it.

    This paper describes the front end of SETI@home and provides parameters for the primary data source, the Arecibo Observatory

    Most of this data was recorded commensally at the Arecibo observatory over a 22 yr period

    Interesting as Arecibo collapsed in December of 2020. It sounds like they have a lot of data to still churn through.
