Hi,

I have exactly the same problems. New user and downloading files are slow and sometimes files cannot complete.

We are both running Vista so I might do some more digging on the help site in case there are some incoming ports that need to be open or such....

The download problems originates with Seti site. The Internet pipeline is saturated with work requests. For about a week and a half the work being provided is of a variety that can be processed in only 20 to 40 minutes instead of the more usual 1 to 2+ hours. This as more than tripled the demand for new work and the ready to send send queue has been sitting at near 0 (see Server status page) since work can't be generated fast enough. This will hopefully improve once we get past this set of recordings and we get back to WU that require a more normal processing time.

As for Vista, I would suggest that you install to a different location like C:\\BOINC rather then default C:\\Program Files\\BOINC. Vista security does not like programs writing data in the Program File directories. You can just exit the Manager then move the entire BOINC folder, then reinstall to the new location. This particular problem should eliminated with V6.X. This version should fix many of the incompatibilities caused by Vista.

Hi all,
I have this repeated problem after install, I adjust the proxy properly, and have a 3.488/256 Kbs ADSL connection, I use to use some p2p progs (not when BOINC works) and in the case of bittorrent it use to download at more than 120 Kbs average, don't undrestand why I have 0,00 Kbs in the transfers window. I apretiate some advice about, I look around where similar matters were commented, but still don't find a clue. Many thanks and regards to the teams. :)

I'm hoping you're correct about v6 correcting some of these problems, but I don't think this problem is related to either server backlog or cache problems (as was noted on another post somewhere). This is a new problem having occurred just in the past few days. The download gets stuck on the setiathome_5.27_windows:intelx86.exe and other related program files (before it can even download tasks). I have BOINC running on 6 machines, and the only one it's having any kind of problem with is the Vista machine. I've had it running on this particular Vista machine for several months, but it disconnected me from the project and won't download these files, presumably after MS did some type of update.

I'll try the location change as you suggest, so I'm hoping that will have some positive affect.

Thanks
