Everytime BOINC tries to DL this app, I get an answer like this: 15-9-2010 0:00:57|Milkyway@home|Backing off 1 hr 25 min 24 sec on download of milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86_64_ss2.exe. This is my appinfo: <app_info> <app> <name>milkyway</name> </app> <file_info> <name>astronomy_0.20_SSE3.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway</app_name> <version_num>19</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>astronomy_0.20_SSE3.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway</app_name> <version_num>20</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>astronomy_0.20_SSE3.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> </app> <file_info> <name>milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86_64_SSE2.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name> <version_num>6</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86_64_SSE2.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> I have tried these versions, but all with the same result: milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86_64.exe milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86_64_sse2.exe milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86_64__sse2.exe What can be the reason? |

Hi, the app has just been updated to v0.07. Please note the two underscores between '64' and 'sse2'. |

At first, your tips worked very wel. Thanks. But I have another strange thing on a 32 bit computer. In the appinfo file stands this: <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> </app> <file_info> <name>milkyway_nbody_0.07_windows_intelx86__sse2.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name> <version_num>7</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>milkyway_nbody_0.07_windows_intelx86__sse2.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> BOINC says: at startup,even after several reboots, incl. a complete powerdown: 15-9-2010 17:28:41||[error] No URL for file transfer of milkyway_nbody_0.07_windowsx86__sse2.exe 15-9-2010 17:28:41|Milkyway@home|[error] Can't initialize file transfer for milkyway_nbody_0.07_windowsx86__sse2.exe 15-9-2010 17:28:41||[error] No URL for file transfer of milkyway_nbody_0.07_windows_x86__sse2.exe 15-9-2010 17:28:41|Milkyway@home|[error] Can't initialize file transfer for milkyway_nbody_0.07_windows_x86__sse2.exe 15-9-2010 17:28:41||[error] No URL for file transfer of milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86.exe 15-9-2010 17:28:41|Milkyway@home|[error] Can't initialize file transfer for milkyway_nbody_0.06_windows_x86.exe And keeps looking for an other file than is downloaded en written in the appinfo file. How is this possible and more important: how can I resolve this problem? |

My guess is that your client_state.xml ist corrupted or something else defining the projects parameters. The app_info content you posted looks allright, if these are all entries for milkyway_nbody. However, BOINC is asking for three files of which none is the right one. I'd say save the app_info.xml, detach the project, reattach again and throw the app_info.xml into the .../projects/... directory again. You might want to download milkyway_nbody_0.07_windows_intelx86__sse2.exe manually, too. |

Detaching and reataching fixed the problem. Thanks. |
