IMPORTANT NEWS: David Anderson, the creator of BOINC, has found and fixed a serious bug in the BOINC 'core client'. This causes failure of a job if the download of any of its input files fails (the correct behavior is to retry and complete the download, then run the job). Moreover, any other job that used the same files would also fail. A fixed core client should be available soon.
