Hmm, can you successfully download wu, but not the *.exe-files?

yes, wu are dl, but the *.exe don't.

If so, you can use the "Anonymous platform"-mechanism.
By using this method the *.exe will never be upgraded, only your
self-compiled version is being used.

The optimized seti-applications is using this method, by users
downloading optimized seti-application, unzipping (if windows), and
putting the two files setiathome_4.11_windows_intelx86.exe and
app_info.xml under
boinc-dir\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu\ 

If you don't want to rely on someone else's optimized compilation and
don't want to build your own version, but instead use the official
SETI@Home-version, download on one computer, and afterwards copy *.exe
to your installs and generate your app_info.xml looking something
like:

<app_info>
  <app>
     <name>setiathome</name>
  </app>
  <file_info>setiathome_4.18_windows_intelx86.exe</name>
     <executable/>
  </file_info>
  <app_version>
     <app_name>setiathome</app_name>
     <version_num>418</version_num>
        <file_ref>setiathome_4.18_windows_intelx86.exe</file_name>
        <main_program/>
     </file_ref>
  </app_version>
</app_info>

can i take this one from my machine?
the exe i have copied, but he wants to connect to a project again and
deletes my setiathome folder with the exe file.

i wil try this on the weekend.
