Hey, I recently had a problem with files not being able to be renamed, but that error seems to have gone away. Now the problem is that My client will download tasks, and they sit in the 'tasks' pane with the status 'Ready to start' for quite some time, then error out. Any idea how I can fix this?

~Tnanks in advance, Istvan.

Which version of BOINC?

That was, if I recall correctly, an issue with several versions of BOINC in the 6.6 series...

it is indeed a 6.6 series, should I revert to an older version?

~Thanks for the help, Istvan.

The question is if you should go to a later version ... :)

Secondly, If you set it with the local panel, you are now on local preferences and if you have more that one machine that may not be what you want. If that is true, change it in the web preferences, update that project, then clear the local preferences ...
