I have gotten this message over 30 times in the last 1/2 hour. Any ideas?

I am running version 4.19 on Win XP Home.

Corrupt file on disk probably. Try deleteing that file from the project directory, make sure you exit the client first.

If that doesn't work you may have to reset the project from the GUI. With the current overloaded servers this could be just as bad though.

1) When I check the SETI project directory, I can watch this file (which is still trying to download) appear, reach around 5K and then be deleted.

2) I closed Boinic and deleted the conetns of the SETI project folder. Same result.

3) I have re-installed Boinic (and made sure the entire directory was deleted in the process) and the file size miss-match contiues.

I am still stuck with this and because of this error SETI won't start work. I have all the workunis and all the other stuff, but the status under the work units always says "downloading".

I have signed up with Einstein@home and have had no problems downloading and it is currently curnching away.

My email is starhawk@dock.net; could some one just send me the better_banner.jpg
file?
