Hello,
when trying to put one of my computers back onto processing Einstein/Nvidia tasks, which it hadn't been doing for a while, I got this:

(just an excerpt, the hole list is longer). The other files seem to download ok, however the tasks as such each fail with an error on download. I guess they all miss the fft library. The host venue is set to accept nvidia tasks only, and not to run beta test applications.

I have the same after clearing BOINC out of my system due to instant bug (here http://einsteinathome.org/node/197977), that I wasn't able to resolve myself. I have made a clear installation in a different BOINC and BOINC DATA folders, not default ones.
Besides this it errors out on BRP4 download with

Thanks Stranger, so here is

Thanks Stranger, so here is one confirmation post at last. Btw, my host in question is ID: 11701432.
I just did an experiment with another host that was happily crunching einstein nvidia tasks of all sorts so far, ID: 11758367. After deinstalling BOINC, clearing the BOINC data directory entirely, reinstalling and reattaching it is now unable to download the fft library (and the other file I don't know what that is good for). The respective tasks error out as described before.
So I think it is currently impossible to run nvidia crunchers that did not successfully download the failing files successfully before, which means it may not be possible to attach new nvidia hosts to einstein at all.

Rewording: My guess is, that

Rewording: My guess is, that newly attached hosts will not be able to crunch nvidia tasks. That's what I mean. Maybe somebody else can confirm or deny this, to raise the attention level this gets or solve it in any way.
Cheers

I've downloaded these files from another host while BOINC was stopped. But BOINC says about HTTP error again and these 2 files become zero sized.

I can confirm that one of my pc's, attached today, gets these http download errors. http://einsteinathome.org/host/11758363/tasks
Another pc, attached months ago, gets work, but fails immediate with error 1001
http://einsteinathome.org/task/486885252 and empty stderr. Outcome: Client error, Client state: compute error.

About the error 1001 and the empty stderr please see the adjacent thread about trouble with BRP6-beta...
The file named in the thread

The file named in the thread title, cufft_xp32_32_16.dll, seems to download OK from
http://einstein-dl2.phys.uwm.edu/download/cufft_xp32_32_16.dll
(the University of Wisconsin at Madison mirror), but fails with a 404 Not Found error when downloaded from the AEI at Hannover.
RE: The file named in the
)
I've downloaded it from there, put it into the Einstein project directory (replacing an existing file), but still get the http error on both cufft and einsteinbinary.
The project directory contains three einsteinbinary ... BRP6-Beta-cuda32-nv301 files, but different extensions: one .exe, one .exe-db.dev and one .exe-dbhs.dev
So maybe the download itself works, but the recognition fails.
RE: I've downloaded these
)
I tried the same and failed the same. I think one cannot just put the file where it belongs because BOINC remembers the download failure and tries to re-download, thus overwriting it again and creating the 0-sized file because download fails again.
Richard: I took the download urls for the cufft-library from client_state.xml and one after the other put them in a web browser to try. I think that is the way BOINC itself is supposed to handle this, but I do not really know.
Hannover is a straight failure, as you said, and UWM took ages to establish a connection to at all. It then downloaded, but I think inside BOINC this will time out before.
I still think the action to be taken is on the server side, unless told better.
