	Once again I see that some of my machines are boring... no work from project, while other seem to get new work all the time. Restarting the processes does not seem to work. Is there something wrong with the servers I'm trying to contact? The page showing server status indicate that everything is OK, but my machine get "No work from project" and "Project has now work available". ____________

Can I only download 37 tasks per day? Every time a task is reported faulty in decreases the daily total by one until a good task is reported. Therefore that msg means you have reported 63 faulty tasks, (100 - 63 = 37 tasks/day). I would check out your computer, or if overclocked reduce the overclocking by a few MHz. The good news is that if the computer reports a good task it doubles, until 100 is reached, the downloads/day.

	[quote]BTW, here is the message: I would check out your computer, or if overclocked reduce the overclocking by a few MHz. I checked the log-files for this linux machine. No errors detected or reported. I also got another linux server that does not get any jobs at all. If there has been any problems with this machine, I would (most likely) have noticed in some way. It's used as a workstation for mail, a fileserver (5000 Gb data), primary internal DNS and has a lot of X-terms open to monitor logfiles at other machines. Two other linux-machines are, so far, still having work to do. A window machine (quad core) do have problems from time to time to get work. They seem to use very long time in downloading a workset. Currently one has stalled and will retry in 2:22:20. BTW, it took me a long time, with several timeouts, just go get form to post a thread... I have checked my network connection and it's seem to be working fine. -- Update: I checked 3 other linux-machines and one other window machine. None of them has received any work for the last 5 days. Some of the are reporting "HTTP Service unavailable" or error code 503 (which I assume is the http error code 503 saying that the service is unavailable). ____________

	I also got another linux server that does not get any jobs at all. If that's this one then do know it's only got download errors. This is the one I first noticed the problem on (since I'm running Xload on it). Any reason why this machine get errors? Also, other machines get 503 errors. ____________

	Other than the problems with the download server here, it may be a problem with the choice of BOINC version. 5.2.13 is very old by now. Have you considered upgrading? ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception.

	Other than the problems with the download server here, it may be a problem with the choice of BOINC version. 5.2.13 is very old by now. Have you considered upgrading? Yes I have - I already got a new motherboard with a quad core AMD processor that shall replace the current motherbord/CPU. It will be a complete new installation and a new version of BOINC. Just need to find time to do the upgrade. ____________

	I am running 6.10.45 on Windows7 64Bit and I get HTTP errors when Downloading. Rebooting the machine and resetting the project did not help. Detaching and reattaching did not help. So, i think it is not a problem on my side. ____________ when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

	It seems like Fedora Core 4 is now too old to run seti. Since the two machines that check MD5 checksum error is running FC4. Newer version is not supported on FC4 (lacking the proper runtime library). Can someone confirm this? ____________

Windows "helps" you much of the time by "remembering" things ... the trouble is that it can be like a spouse that remembers things that never happened ... in this case, an Internet address got clobbered and remembered wrong ... sometimes rebooting will flush it, sometimes not ...

	If that's this one then do know it's only got download errors. At one time two Fedora Core 4 machines failed, but now one is working OK again. But the one (link above) is still not getting any work. The task list indicate that it has one in progress, but that is not true. The boinc manager message window say that it has failed with MD5 checksum error. An explanation of why this is happened would be nice :) ____________

	An explanation of why this is happened would be nice :) To see the one source of this problem please visit address http://208.68.240.18/sah/download_fanout/testfile You should see "this is a test" - which means server is working And address http://208.68.240.13/sah/download_fanout/testfile If you will see "The service is not available.
