My BOINC program was purring along like a kitten on a dairy farm one minute and then I go to get back on my computer and I notice all of these messages in the message tab stating "temporary failed upload of ........ ( Work Unit )". If anyone knows anything about this issue, your help would be greatly appreciated! JC ID: 427718 ·

Someone in the Q&A forums wound up having problems with Norton. Also, which version of the BOINC Client are you using? ID: 428150 ·

I think I figured it out. As I stated before, I just added this computer and, when I first installed BOINC, it worked fine. I then re-installed my firewall ( Zone Alarm Pro ). Thinking that might be the problem, I looked at the settings and noticed that the program settings for BOINC were not allowing it access to the Web. After correcting it, everything seems fine now. Although it did do the same thing on tuesday, but I believe the server really was down for a while that day..... ID: 431097 ·
