Just go thru the list and see if one works. I am gettting thru just

I do on all but one computer and there it appears as if they won't
accept a WU from it.  I completely emptied the queue so it had to
start over.  It almost immediately downloaded the headers for 13 WUs,
but then roughly 300 tries later it still hadn't actually received the
contents for any of those WUs.  I'd assume that being it received the
headers it is connecting fine.

around as one may work one day and then not the next, so keep the list
handy.

Do you have a firewall that you have to give permissions to certain
programs to so they can access the net? If so you may try disabling it

There are 3 programs associated with BOINC. 4 if you count the screen
saver.  They have permission.   I could set them to ask which should
still work, but I see no point in that.

altogether for a couple of minutes, manually try connecting and see if
that works. Boinc uses several different programs to connect thru not
just Boinc.

Yup.  Already tried that too.   Shut ZA Pro down, using a proxy, and I
still get the same results.  It connects, says it's started the
download, and then the download fails for some reason. Of course there
is the possibility these canned messages are not really telling me the
truth.  A lot of computer messages really don't give the correct
information.  OTOH it did download the headers for the WUs.

I'm getting close to giving up on that machine.

Thanks for the suggestion.
