I am no longer processing milkyWay@Home WUs on one of 3 computers, perhaps as a result of this circumstance:

92 Milkyway@home 2/20/2025 8:37:50 AM Started download of milkyway_nbody_1.87_windows_x86_64__mt.exe
93 Milkyway@home 2/20/2025 8:37:51 AM Giving up on download of milkyway_nbody_1.87_windows_x86_64__mt.exe: permanent HTTP error

I could download it right now. If your BOINC client still can't download it, you can try to download it with your browser and place it in Milkyway's project dir:
https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/milkyway_nbody_orbit_fitting_1.87_windows_x86_64.exe
Once it's there, it normally should stay there forever, no idea how you lost it.

The error message refers to milkyway_nbody_1.87_windows_x86_64__mt.exe

You sent me a URL link for milkyway_nbody_orbit_fitting_1.87_windows_x86_64.exe:
https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/milkyway_nbody_orbit_fitting_1.87_windows_x86_64.exe

Should I change the file name to eliminate the words "orbit_fitting"?

That's weird. There's no v1.87 of the app without orbit_fitting, so of course you can't download it. Must be a bug in those WUs, just ignore it, most WUs are with orbit_fitting, so it should not be an issue.

Which of you computers had that issue? I don't see any errors on any of them.
