Hi I had some issues 3-4 weeks ago getting one of my machines to recognise that it had a CUDA capable GPU, and finally (after some help from this forum) managed to get Boinc 6.10.58 installed. This was during the long Seti outage so I had no real way of knowing whether it was really fixed or not. However now that we are up and running again this particular machine requests work from Seti@home but is never able to actually download any as it gives the following message(s) Core2Duo 126 SETI@home 30/12/2010 18:11:10 Started download of setiathome-6.09_cuda_COPYING 127 SETI@home 30/12/2010 18:11:10 Started download of seti_609.jpg 128 SETI@home 30/12/2010 18:11:11 Temporarily failed download of setiathome-6.09_cuda_COPYING: HTTP error 129 SETI@home 30/12/2010 18:11:11 Backing off 3 hr 43 min 43 sec on download of setiathome-6.09_cuda_COPYING 130 SETI@home 30/12/2010 18:11:11 Temporarily failed download of seti_609.jpg: HTTP error 131 SETI@home 30/12/2010 18:11:11 Backing off 3 hr 7 min 10 sec on download of seti_609.jpg I've reset the project, detached and re-attached etc. but nothing gets it beyond this message. This has been going on since the servers came back up so I don't attribute it to traffic, server load etc. Also this PC runs Rosetta and ClimatePrediction as well with no problems so it is a Seti related setting of some sort Advice gratefully received Thanks |

Have you rebooted the machine recently? If not, try that. Or, try opening a command window, then typing 'ipconfig /flushdns' without the quotes. Then start Boinc and allow it to ask for work again. If that doesn't work, clever people will be along soon... regards, Giz. ![]() A proud GPU User Server Donor! |

It looks like you have a CUDA WU onboard is it working ![]() In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Can you download the files manually (using the browser)? Gruß, Gundolf |

Can you download the files manually (using the browser)? Yes, normal PC use remains as expected - everything works properly Not quite sure what you mean by manually downloading - I'm assuming you're checking if the PC connects/downloads as normal for everything else |

Can you download the files manually (using the browser)? No, he means getting hold of the actual files yourself. Try these two urls: http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/setiathome-6.09_cuda_COPYING http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/seti_609.jpg Right-click on each file in turn, and choose 'Save Target As...' (or whatever wording your browser uses). Then, copy the files from your default download location into the SETI@home project sub-folder. You'll need to know where to find your BOINC Data folder first - it's listed in the start-up message log each time BOINC starts. |

Thanks to those who replied I think I have found the issue: This computer has parental controls active and boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu is blocked by default for some odd reason. I have added it to the Allowed List and am waiting for work to start flowing again (I hope) Thanks |
