The previous thread got a little out of hand and transformed to a German tutorial for noobs. But there remained a few questions unanswered:

Why doesn't BOINC recognize the Skip image file verification flag?

Why does seti_527.jpg get overwritten when downloaded separately and write protected?

Why is seti_527.jpg still downloaded with an optimized application installed and app_info.xml in place?

If I missed any, please feel free to append, but I'd like answers even better :-)

Gruß,
Gundolf

This one only is when the download was still in the Transfer tab, timing down for a retry. Else it won't. I don't have it.

Write protecting it may change the md5 hash. Or the person never write protected it completely. We don't know, we only have his or her word for it.

That's a good one :-) Didn't think of tasks still in transfer!

That's why I have suggestd (in the original thread) to 1) set Seti to NNT and 2) to abort any pending transfer, especially of Seti527.jpg... ;-)

Anyway, maybe I missed something, or the steps I've suggested weren't done in the right order...
