DLL's should never be transferred as they are. fix this, and lot's of people would live happier again. API ID: 409681 ·

DLL are executable files that all programs need. Sure, i just hate when any unpacked data is sent over the net because many of the networks are protected from sending/receiving .dll files (as well as .exe files). For some time now, i have been unable to crunch any seti workunits because i cannot download libfffw3f-3-1-1-a.dll file. this, i suppose, is a common problem. API ID: 409729 ·

Yes, some companies block any executables to prevent the installation of unauthorized or malicious software. Unfortunately most of the projects send out executables in this fashion. It is the policy that you need permission to use Boinc on any computers that you do not own. Boinc V7.2.42 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470 ID: 409799 ·

In addendum to what Aurora said above, it's is also known that many companies block compressed .ZIP and .RAR files, so compressing them won't help either. ID: 409865 ·

Just had to locate correct device blocking those :o). So, i really think this might be problem to somebody else too. Just wanted to suggest something better. API ID: 413311 ·
