No but if your trying to connect to the SMP or GPU client then it could be a little wait cuz both their netloads are like 200, so there a bit overloaded.
Then some other regular servers down.

Then my guess is the assignment server has no server to assign you to, there are a bunch down and not accepting, but I would think some of the others would be regular servers too.
Checked folding forum, guess they've had a few problems with servers, your not the only one. With the 0.0.0.0 they always say just keep waiting.

Yups! Me! One with the bad server addy message of 0.0.0.0, just means that server is down at the moment..it will eventually go. Two other projects are just holding, waiting to connect to the work server.
As YoS pointed out, there are several servers down at this time and or overloaded. Patience is the key! Arghhh!!! It is a weekend as well, so it might not be fixed today. 
If it goes on balking too long...I also keep a seperate folder handy and will sometimes resort to using that one, while other problems are being fixed. So far I have been fortunate enough to get assigned to another work server and can then at least keep the units working, closing the secondary, and switching back to the original from time to time to see if they will send yet. It can however, get very confusing doing that with multiple machines and cpus!
