Is something going on with BOINC? There is no news posted since July
9, but today (July 13) there has been a lot of down time.

For the past several hours my BOINC keeps flashing with the red "i"
since it repeatedly is hitting the cache low-water mark and trying
to connect and download more seconds of work. Every time it starts
to do a download, it gets three messages in a row:

1 - "temporarily failed download"
2 - "giving up on download" ... "file was not found on server"
3 - "unrecoverable error for result" ... "file transfer error:
couldn't get input files"

It then defers communication and then retries and goes through the
same failure again and again and ... you get the picture ... hours
of this ...

What is going on?

Maintainance, I guess. (Techno-speak for fixing bugs?)

After a lot of trying I've managed to upload my finished WU's.

Can't seem to get any new ones, though. No work available.

And my systems are running out!!!!!
