One of the three computers we have online here is not downloading Einstein@Home files for crunching.
It's a G4 PowerBook and below is the Boinc Manager dialog rom the last time it failed to download new work units:

Nothing seems to have changed otherwise about the computer; it's downloading work units from two other BOINC projects fine and the two other computers we have that are online (one newer, one older) seem to be downloading work units fine as well.
I would appreciate any help with this problem you can provide.

Hi.
For some strange reasons the download of the app failed, and then you hit your daily quota.
If this persists, you can still load the beta app package from here :
http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/app_test.php#ppcmac
and install it manually .
RE: Hi. For some strange

Thanks.
I've downloaded the beta app, installed it and successfully downloaded a work unit. I'll post if I still have trouble.
Bests,
Herb
