Einstein@Home - 2005-02-26 19:50:04 - Checksum or signature error for H1_1251.4
Einstein@Home - 2005-02-26 19:50:04 - Unrecoverable error for result H1_1251.4__1251.5_0.1_T09_Test02_1 (WU download error: couldn't get input files:
H1_1251.4: MD5 check failed
)
It has failed 3 times.
As I shot down BOINC, I can't say if the last checksum is the same as the two first ones. I will be able to say it when I finish to download a new WU.
So what can it be due to ?
Thanks for the answer.

Can you tell us the exact size the file has on your HD? It should be in BOINC/project/einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ . The error messages look quite verbose to me compared to what I know of the 4.19 client - which client version are you running?
You may simply reset the project to start over from scratch. You should also be able to grep the full URL of the file from the clinet_state.xml file. You can stop the Client, download it with any other program into the directory mentioned above and start the client again.

On our server:
md5sum ./176/H1_1251.4 869639556d07fc535c0ba4b16a4d0523 ./176/H1_1251.4
The 4.19 and above clients should (I thought) retry the download in this case. What client version are you using? Earlier clients may not have done this and left you with an incorrect data file.

And the application is Einstein 4.79
When the problem appear, it automatically restart a new download: so it keeps downloading.
I can also precise that the checksums are always the same.
I will try to download manually as BM said, and see.

So, the problem has solved all alone.
Maybe it was simply due to the server crash.
At the begining, I thought it couldn't be, because nobody had mentionned it on the message boards, but it probably was.
Thank you anyway, BM and Bruce
