Topic 216487

I've been unable to download WU's from Einstein for the last few days. All of my other projects are running fine.

@ZALSTER: The hint under this

@ZALSTER: The hint under this comment doesn't help.

I couldn't find the item JPLEPH.405 in the file client_state.xml.

Please help me to find another work around.

 

thanks

I dug through some of last

I dug through some of last year's posts and seem to have it working. Here's what I did:

1. Exit BOINC manager, making sure all work has stopped.

2. Open your BOINC program files and look for "client_state.xml" (Mine was in C > Program Data > BOINC)

3. Open the file "client_state.xml" with a simple text editor like Notepad.

4. Search for the line:

<file>
    <name>hsgamma_FGRP5_XXX.exe</name>

The "XXX" part doesn't matter, it's just version number info. I did a Ctrl+F search for occurrences of "hsgamma" and found the right line almost immediately.

5. JUST BEFORE that ^ line you just found, paste in all this:

<file>
    <name>JPLEPH.405</name>
    <nbytes>9319680.000000</nbytes>
    <max_nbytes>0.000000</max_nbytes>
    <md5_cksum>d6ce12bacd2a81a56423f5f238ba84eb</md5_cksum>
    <status>1</status>
    <sticky/>
    <download_url>http://einstein8.aei.uni-hannover.de/EinsteinAtHome/download/29/JPLEPH.405</download_url>
</file>

 6. Save your newly edited "client_state.xml" file, overwriting the old one. Make sure it does NOT save as a Text Document (*.txt),  use the All Files (*.*) dropdown option. Also make sure it DOES save with ANSI coding (which seems pretty standard).

7. Restart BOINC

This is the same as the MD5

This is the same as the MD5 check error thread. No need to start yet another message thread. I have dropped Bernd a private message so hopefully the project will do whatever they did last time to fix it.
