Help! When I tried to download work for SETI, it downloads the whole file, then when it finishes it says checksum error. I tried it multiple times, here is the log:

Ignore the last log entry, I did that myself. Please help, I posted this on the SETI classic fourm and didn't get a response.

Have you tried to close the client and restart it again? Press the manual update option?

Else try to detach from the project and re-attach.

That didn't work, here is what I got when I restarted the client and reset the project:

I noticed that in the line: SETI@home - 2004-06-24 10:33:54 - expected 7ed1f7b364002d8d3838ac3e3f67b93f, got 38225f1442388fc481ec4054a75dad1b the two checksums are completely different from each other. What could be causing the file to be so courrupted?

ARGHHH, I this posting system! The order go messed up again and now it looks very confusing! I think that all posts should go AFTER the LAST one!
