Sorry Paul, I wasn't clear enough - I was actually asking if someone can provide such a screenshot...

Once you have got the image on a server (there are free webhosting providers for personal/non-commericial use) you need to use BOINC forum tags.

For example, use (see the code using Reply to this post button)

Today I got 4 Albert WUs, and all 4 resulted in "Client error".

Description for 1st WU error is...

5.2.13
app_version download error: couldn't get input files:

albert_4.37_windows_intelx86.exe
-120
signature verification failed

And for other 3 it is...

5.2.13
WU download error: couldn't get input files:

skygrid_1290_r_T09.dat

Any ideas what it is all about and how I could fix it?

Thanks
Edo

I would try to reset the project. It will delete create new HostID and trigger fresh download of Einstein's project files.

There are a number of reasons

There are a number of reasons you can get MD5/ signature failures. These include bad connections to the project (which only makes sense if you have similar issues with the project for the "normal" work units, or the project may have generated "bad" work unit files.

I am guessing, especially since I have 13 results on hand that it is only a partial problem. Have you gotten any yet?

==== edit

I am seeing a number of "Unsent" in the work issued to me (in other words I got it, someone else got it, gut the third person did not), so, there may be a server problem also ...
