I am using macnn boinc 4.06 client and 4.30 seti client. I got this strange upload error:

(the client was downloading wus at the same time, that gives parasitic messages ). Clearly, the computations results are lost, there is no more result file XXX_0 with that name on the disk.

I noticed that a second computer (same software) was uploading succesfully just at the same time (both computers have clocks synchronized on a nntp server, then the clocks are reliable):

Is there a problem with boinc when there are 2 uploads of the same account running concurently ?

I had the same problem early this morning (I'm on EDT -04 time zone). I'm running BOINC clinet 4.09 and Seti 4.02 on Mac PowerBook G4. Here's my log:

I hope this isn't a generic problem that is going to happen to the next set of results also.

I got it for a second WU. Its a general problem, there is a thread on it in the message board. Better to stop seti, and wait some time.
