Looks like a problem on the server as everyone trying to download those tasks is getting that error.
In the mean time you may want to try a reset of the project on that computer. It's still possible you got a corrupt public key.
Many thanks for the report, I

Many thanks for the report, I forwarded this to the E@H team.

This is strange. It appears on the server side as if no workunits have ever been generated that require and/or use this file. Could you please give me the NAME of the workunit that uses this file?
For what it is worth, the file on the server has the same checksum as reported below, and checks as a valid SFT:
[root@einstein download]# ~/sftlib/SFTvalidate ./23/l1_0873.00_S5R4
[root@einstein download]#
Is it possible that the user edited client_state.xml and inadvertently changed the file name?
Cheers,

EDIT: What I wrote above was misleading. David Hammer was also working to fix this problem and had deleted the incorrect l1_0873.00_S5R4.md5 file, leading me to believe that no WU had been generated for this data file.
After searching the database, I found 125 workunits that use this file. For reasons that I do not yet understand, these workunits seem to have been generated with incorrect md5sums for the file in question. I am investigating.

Kudoes for spotting this problem!
We found a corrupted file on the E@H server. The wrong md5 sum was being shipped out. I have just fixed this in the workunits (replace incorrect md5 sum with the correct one):
mysql> select count(id) from workunit where xml_doc like '%l1_0873.00_S5R4%' and xml_doc like '%c2c67b1cf86121f7b79d8184069e9926%' ;
+-----------+
| count(id) |
+-----------+
| 0 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (10.90 sec)
mysql> select count(id) from workunit where xml_doc like '%l1_0873.00_S5R4%' and xml_doc like '%0b35efca8e47808f6b751a8045e7113c%' ;
+-----------+
| count(id) |
+-----------+
| 126 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (10.67 sec)
This means that approximate 250 'results in progress' are going to fail because they have the wrong md5 sum. We'll then generate new results for these workunits that should succeed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is a 'one time' corruption problem on the download server and not something that will occurr a lot!

Rostislav,
Thank you very much for spotting and reporting this problem. We are currently running scripts to check that there are no other data files on our download server with corrupted md5 sums.
I've reset nresults_today to ZERO for the machine which was seeing these errors. This should prevent it from being penalized for the failures, so it should get more work (hopefully with the correct md5 sums now). You might want to detach and reattach the machine if it keeps getting errors from this file.
Thanks also for your support of Einstein@Home. I see that you joined the project just a couple of days after our public launch on February 19, 2005.
Cheers,
Bruce
