+SQueuer is a queueing proxy for Seti@Home with the following features:
+
+ * Keeps a configurable sized queue of work units so that
+ the client will always be able to get a new work unit
+ immediately upon finishing one.
+
+ * Queues results for uploading should the main Seti@Home
+ site be overloaded or down. Results are never lost and the
+ client is never delayed waiting to upload a result.
+
+ * Can handle multiple users running the Seti@Home client
+ on multiple machines all connecting to SQueuer.
+
+ * Platform independent. SQueuer has been tested and found
+ to work on different versions of Unix, MacOS and Windows.
+ All it requires is a Perl 5 interpreter.
