BTW... What is a "a return value of -182"??? Haven't been able to dig that up.

Google is your friend ;)
See here for error list.

To err is human; to moo, bovine.

Look like that your problems resulting at the server problems in the moment. I have still sometimes problems with the up- and downloads.

Could you please update to the newest BOINC client, your version is very old. It is available at boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php.

The stuff below is representative of what I've been getting back more often than not for the past 6 weeks or so. I understand about thumper but this was happening before that and I've only connected a couple of times since. I've gone to the extent of downloading a new version and running it. It is getting very frustrating not even being able to attach to the project at all and seems quite strange that the problems have remained the same with no other changes other than an upgrade of the package. BTW... What is a "a return value of -182"??? Haven't been able to dig that up.
