OS: Windows Vista BOINC: 7.2.33 Hi, I'm having issues when downloading tasks. In the tasks tab of Boinc it show all tasks as Download Fail, but I can see them downloading in the Transfers Tab, and the event log shows the tasks as Finished Downloading; 11/01/2014 08:59:58 | SETI@home | Finished download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.9 11/01/2014 08:59:58 | SETI@home | Started download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.15 11/01/2014 09:00:04 | SETI@home | Finished download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.163 11/01/2014 09:00:04 | SETI@home | Started download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.155 11/01/2014 09:00:08 | SETI@home | Finished download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.15 11/01/2014 09:00:08 | SETI@home | Started download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.11 11/01/2014 09:00:10 | SETI@home | Finished download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.155 11/01/2014 09:00:10 | SETI@home | Started download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.72 11/01/2014 09:00:11 | SETI@home | Finished download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.11 11/01/2014 09:00:11 | SETI@home | Started download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.21 11/01/2014 09:00:13 | SETI@home | Finished download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.72 11/01/2014 09:00:13 | SETI@home | Started download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.17 11/01/2014 09:00:15 | SETI@home | Finished download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.21 11/01/2014 09:00:15 | SETI@home | Started download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.200 11/01/2014 09:00:20 | SETI@home | Finished download of 17oc13af.15467.14791.438086664202.12.17 11/01/2014 09:00:20 | SETI@home | Finished download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.200 11/01/2014 09:00:20 | SETI@home | Started download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.246 11/01/2014 09:00:20 | SETI@home | Started download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.180 11/01/2014 09:00:25 | SETI@home | Finished download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.246 11/01/2014 09:00:25 | SETI@home | Started download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.251 11/01/2014 09:00:28 | SETI@home | Finished download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.180 11/01/2014 09:00:29 | SETI@home | Finished download of 25mr08ac.6557.17250.438086664205.12.251 I've tried to reset the project, even remove and reinstall it, but nothing seems to fix the issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Greg |

Firstly you computers are hidden so it is not easy to see what is happening. Second it is sometimes helpful to post the first 20 to 30 lines of the Boinc log on start-up. |

Indeed, your first 45 downloaded tasks got a download error, but only because of missing .jpg files, which could have been caused by your ISP compressing picture files. However, the last 40 ones seem to have been downloaded successfully. Perhaps the project reset did help. If not, set "Skip image file verification?" to "yes" in your computing preferences. Are any SETI@home tasks downloaded successfully on your computer now? (Status "running", "waiting to run" or "ready to start") Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben.

Nope, they we all listed at Download Fail. I have disabled image verification, removed and reset the project. I'll have to wait for the daily quota limit to reset before I know if it has worked. Than you for your help. If it's still playing up I'll post again if and when the time comes. |

Nope, they we all listed at Download Fail. The daily limit does not reset. It slowly increases as you return completed work. BOINC WIKI |

Nope, they we all listed at Download Fail. Ah I see, is it account or machine specific? |

Nope, they we all listed at Download Fail. It is machine specific. If your other computer is on the same network, you can just copy the missing jpg files to the other computer. Or try downloading this image and putting it into the directory. http://208.68.240.13/sah/download_fanout/seti_700.jpg C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu\ |

Thanks, I've copied the seti_700.jpg file as it was still going wrong this morning. Lets see if that has solved it..... |

It's still doing it, but I think I know why. The seti_700.jpg linked on this thread still downloads incorrectly as my ISP meddles with JPEGs. Is there anyway it can be compressed into a .ZIP, along with ap_700.jpg? Thanks |

""set "Skip image file verification?" to "yes" in your computing preferences."" Did that not help? |

What do you think the relevant location is? Do you stop the BOINC client (not only the manager) before copying the file? Gruß Gundolf |
bill Send message Joined: 16 Jun 99 Posts: 861 Credit: 29,352,955 RAC: 0 |
So if you downloaded the jpg file under a file name ending in , say, gpj would your ISP still muck with it or could you then rename it to the proper name and put it in the proper directory and get S@H working? |

Image location : C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu\ The manager and client are stopped, the option to close both was selected the first time the manage was closed. Renaming the file might work, I've not tried it. It would work if seti_700.jpf & ap_700.jpg were in an archive, a .zip for example. |

In the mean time, could you please be so kind and post the contents of your global_prefs.xml file and if it exists, the contents of the global_prefs_override.xml file? Either can be found in the BOINC data directory C:\ProgramData\BOINC |
