Okay the problem is for some reason the "master file fetch" is not
downloading all the files it needs to your computer. Do you have
enough hard drive space? Do you have a folder JUST for Boinc?
This is fixed in a later version of Boinc, it will automatically
retry until it gets all the files it needs. But at the moment those
versions are still in Beta or Alpha. The web site IF you'd like to
try one of them is: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?dev=1
But REMEMBER that ANY version beyond 4.13 is not released to the
public yet, so little to no support AND may not be the same now as
when it is released.

I have 7gigs free and the program is in a separate folder.  Maybe I
should wait until the new version is released.....how much longer?
I can make a screen shot of the files in the folder but this is not
a bin group.

Well, last week ver 4.14 was released and then taken back when it
found a bug, so there is no way to know for sure.
You said in another message you are using a firewall, disable that and
try connecting again. It may just not like your firewall.

Ok but that would be like having sex without any protection ;)
