This is the first time I've seen this message and I guess it did what it was designed to do...to block suspect WUs???
I would like to add my congratulations to the Einstein team for: the quick feedback re problems and access in general, reliability of servers etc,and a great startup. Your efforts are appreciated! I have not had any problems with the BOINC/EINSTEIN combo in two weeks+ on a varied group of machines. I've had three WUs disappear in the digital ether and that's it! Happy to be along for the ride! Cheers and continued success to all.

'Got request to delete file.....'

Einstein uses a very large file (11 MB) for 150 WUs spread among the users. It tries to send a WU to someone that already has this file. When Einstein is done with this file (all of the WUs have been processed for that file) then everyone that has a copy gets a delete request so that the HD space is freed.

>OK thanks for the timely explanation,John. There is obviously more to to the WU system than I realised. You are also one of the people who deserve alot of credit for the help you give to others in these forums. Thanks again, Rog.
