Okay then I will assume you have plenty of free harddrive space and

400 Gig SATA RAID striped with 137.5 Gig Free.

the settings under "your account" are set to not be forced to leave
too much free? There is a setting for harddrive space to leave empty.

I assume you are referring to the "your account" on the boinc pages?
It's unavailable currently.   There is no account that I can find on
my computer.  It is currently using zero disk space as it hasn't
downloaded anything.

The settings on my preferences in my account are default for all three
computers running seti.  The computers have different IDs, but the
account is the same for all three.

Yes I was referring to the settings that are not accessible right now
on the Boinc web page. It seems that you have plenty of space though.
I do not think the setting is to leave 50% free of the total space on
the drive.
Under your account/ view or edit general preferences this comes up:
Disk and memory usage 
Use no more than 5 GB disk space 
This for some strange reason was 500 GB, but I doubt that would affect
that particular machine.  I changed it to 5 GB as there is no reason
for such a large number.

It didn't affect the operation.

The other settings are the same as yours.

Leave at least 0.1 GB disk space free 
Use no more than 50% of total disk space 
Write to disk at most every 60 seconds 
Use no more than 75% of total virtual memory 
This are MY settings are are NOT the defaults.
Oh and it IS accessible right now, for how long I can't say.

The only other thing I can think of is the router. I don't know why it
might have changed for just the one computer.  I do have blocked
ranges, but none of them are near the proxies.   I could set it up to
give permission to  a specific IP, or the entire group of proxies you
listed, that way I'd not have to change it if I changed a proxy.  But
it was working prior to the first of the month.  I'm assuming they are
running FTP.

Thanks for keeping up the list of suggestions.
