Hello,
I want to do some crunching for Einstein@home with the CPU. I set all the correct settings on the computing and Einstein pages and it was getting new work. However I got the message: error when downloading in BOINC Manger to see.
How can I solve this?
BOINC version 7.6.22, win7 x64 ultimate.
Thank you.

Error when downloading

The download mirrors failed this morning (GMT) and this resulted in a lot of those messages. This should be fixed now. If you still have problems with newly downloaded work please post a log and your timezone so we can correlate this with our logfiles.
Thank you for your response.

Thank you for your response. Indeed it was in the morning. As your closest western neighbour, we have the same UTC time zone.
I will try to get new work for the CPU.

I am having a problem downloading work units.
I have tried a reset of the project, but still get errors
Ie, each workunit generates the following error:

I just checked the file on the download mirrors and it is OK. It has the correct md5sum. Maybe something is interfering with the download on your computer? What Antivirus software and Firewall are you running? Are you behind a proxy?
I am running the Zonealarm

Hi Christian,

I seem to have 2 accounts, not sure why, probably my fault.
Everything was working until

Everything was working until March 20. Since then everything fails. I would suggest that you uninstall BOINC, delete the data directory and reinstall BOINC using version 7.6.22 and then add Einstein@home again. We'll see if that works. If you know what changed around March 19/20 that could also help to diagnose if it is a problems others could have.
So far we don't see a higher than usual error rate after the download servers got fixed.
