All WU's in Downloading state

Topic 190085
(moderation:
My system have a crash and in result - 5 "Client errors". When I update the project, I receive 3 WU's but in column status - I see only "Downloading".
All Files Already Downloaded.
I reinstall BOINC and made a project reset after one day of waiting. But result is same.
Today I have 7 results in results list with "In progress" state but only 3 of they really on my host, and all - in "downloading" state.
And very strange client_state.xml:

No, all units I receive on my host, but 4 of they "leave" my host during project resetting.
Could be the projects data

Could be the projects data files are corrupted. Resetting the project will only remove the executable files and the workunits, the data files aren't touched. Instead, try reattaching to the project.
If you're only attached to Einstein@Home, detach from it and exit BOINC. Remove the "projects" and "slots" folders. Then start BOINC again and attach to Einstein@Home.
To answer some of the questions in the original message -
An empty just means there aren't any active applications crunching workunits.
Workunits that show up in the results list but not in BOINC are "ghost" workunits. That happens when BOINC requests work from the scheduler but doesn't get a reply. Later BOINC versions deal with this by sending a list of all the workunits it knows about to the scheduler, the scheduler will resend the "missing" workunits. You're running BOINC 4.43, you need at least BOINC 4.45 to get the missing workunits resent.
[edit] Your choice whether you want to upgrade to a newer version, it would mean another 6-10 megabyte download on top of the rest. But if you do, instead of detach/attach you should uninstall the old version, delete the BOINC folder and reinstall. That would remove all traces of the old installation.

Thank you! 4.45 Run!!! I

Thank you! 4.45 Run!!!
I am using 4.45 before, but it have a very bad feature - "breaking" a results when download of data block is paused.
Usually, a see , but not two tags without lines between them.
