Message 92564 - Posted: 29 Mar 2005, 20:58:57 UTC

A participant on another msg board claims that he keeps getting this project ("http://maggie.ssl.berkeley.edu/client_test/") popping up on his system.

Even after detaching from it, he says it re-appears in BOINC after a re-boot.

The URL seems to exist - at least IE starts to d/l then just sits there doing nothing - others report 404 error.

Inquiring minds want to know.

maggie was our alpha/beta test system back in the day.

Not sure why this user can't let go of it, but this machine has been off (and buried under other junk) for over a year now.

I would bet that he had a space in the URL when he attached to that project way back when. In that case a simple detach may not work because the client will not delete the account*.xml file(s) that it should. He needs to detach, exit the client, and delete all account*maggie*.xml file(s). It should not automatically attach when it is restarted after that.
