Post: Someone has to be Downloading Tons of Work Units too. The 3 Splitters have been working Full Tilt and the Work Units are going out a soon as they get Split. No, I went back to 4.27 |

They may not be making it all the way to the machines to crunch them though, I just got 40 W/U's but they are all "ghosts". None of them made it to my 'puter. |

Post: Just a quick update: I checked over 40 of the results where the WU was deemed to have too many errors and no one got credit. On ALL of the computers where there were "download errors" they were running a core client of either 4.13 or believe it or not 4.9. |

Post: This is my first time posting so I hope it is ok to do it here. I accidently found part of the reason for the Download errors... Version 4.13!!! I had it running on two machines and two others had 4.19. The machines with 4.19 attempted a download, and if unsuccessful after 21 seconds they just went to "retry in 59 seconds" like the uploads do. The machines with 4.13 on them, after 21 seconds, deleted the download and labled it "Download Failed". Of course these WU's were sent out again to someone else and after 10 minutes my machines attempted to download more. In one day I had over 150 "Download Failed" WU's on one computer, and over 80 on the other. Suggestion: Place something on the home page where more people will check to ensure they are running the newer version of BOINC. This will cause less congestion during times when the servers are overwelmed, and cause the staff less work trying to go back and re-validate workunits that had nothing wrong with them. |
