Jonathan said months ago that:

Manticore.oerc provides the files for Weather@home (hadam3p_eu hadam3p_pnw).

I don't know whether this means that manticore provides files to a download server or sends files directly to computers.

Manticore appears to be invisible to users. Thyme Lawn said last June in the News thread:

The server reconfiguration work has almost been completed but unfortunately neither Jonathan nor Andy were aware that the new download server (manticore.oerc.ox.ac.uk) would be inaccessible to users until the relevant port had been opened up on the university's firewall. All files without an application version stamp appear to be affected and they will be stuck in BOINC's transfer queue until the firewall changes have been made. This is unlikely to happen until Monday.

The firewall was apparently opened up by the university for the manticore download server a couple of days later, but it looks to me as if something similar may be happening again.

Cpdn news

Yes. I have files that are supposed to be being downloaded from Manticore, but I cannot ping or otherwise contact manticore.oerc.ox.ac.uk

Traceroute gets to cengb.backbone.ox.ac.uk
