I have been noticing errors for " client and downloads " etc. for

because we don't have the latest version of boinc installed and
there doesn't seem to be any server problems listed and I have also
read that we should all be using it, it being 4.19.

My question is; can you install right over 4.13 without loosing
work in progress? If not, how do you save work in progress to
transfer to the new
4.19 after you uninstall 4.13?

Thanks.

I keep getting this in my logs:

Yeah it looks like all of my todays work is for not. It ends up being
client error or downloading problem I guess I will just have to trash
what I have and uninstall / reinstall unless somebody tells me
different real quick. <g>

Well I would wait...it worked before.....you could setup another
account<G>

My account is ok and won't be affected by upgrading. I just don't want the
o'l puter wasting energy is all and of course the un-crunched units I have
will just show up missing until they send them out again. No big deal I
guess.

Einstein@home may be open to new testers off and on this week, just keep
going back and retrying if interested.  They require 4.19.  If you run out
of S@H wu's boinc will switch over to E@H and run it full time.  Just an
idea if you want to keep crunching on something useful.
