I have been running SETI@home for several years now. Starting a few days ago I have had a terrible time downloading (setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe). It's size is 2.06MB but continues far beyond those parameters. Then it re-starts only to continue and not finish even though it shows the download at 100% complete. Einstein at home, LHC@home, Rosetta@home and FightAIDS@home all work without flaw. All of the projects have worked well together for a very long time. I can't help but think someone at SETI screwed up something by accident. My diagnostic software says my system is fine so the problem is not on my end. |

Many people have described this problem. The work around is to download the correct version by hand, or copy it from a computer that already has the file downloaded. I believe that this should suply the answers you need. jm7 ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |

Hi John, I just tried downloading an older version but the same thing is occurring. It's strange as all my other boinc research programs are downloading smoothly now. I have uninstalled and re-installed 3 or 4 times but still SETI is fowling up. I wonder which of the earlier installations will work? Thanks for your suggestion. |

No. You do not need an older version of BOINC, you need the correct version of the SETI science application. ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |
