GDATA InternetSecurity reports it is downloading data when I try to download templates_400Hz.bank
BOINC cannot complete the task download.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that "distributed computing" has been adopted for rather malicious applications (bot-nets etc) so malware-scanners are now detecting what is normal busineess in BOINC as a suspicious thing.
I'm sure there are ways to tell that scanner that the PALFA app (and the S5R5 app) are trusted by you, right?

I could not find the PALFA or S5R5 apps but instead I set Firewall Rules for boinc boinccmd and boincmgr. Don't know if this was the right thing to do ? Although the download did not complete immediately, after a delay it did.
It has not been necessary to set any rules in the past.
Normally GDATA does not report that it is downloading files unless GDATA itself is being updated or it is updating virus signatures.
I guess the mere fact that an application is establishing an HTTP connection to the Internet is the reason for the alert, not the content (so it's more a personal firewall thing, not a virus scanner, I guess). You'd have to tell it that BOINC (not the apps as I indicated earlier, as BOINC is doeing the actual downloading) can be trusted.
I just noticed that two iMacs running OS 10.4 have failed on every ABP1 task. I installed the latest BOINC client, but that did not help. I have not had problems with machines running 10.5. Does this application require 10.5?

In lieu of the lack of input from anyone that may be able to answer your query, I suggest disabling the "Arecibo Binary Pulsar Search" on your account. Perhaps at a later time, the issue will be answered and resolved.

Will do. Thanks.
You're welcome, also I neglected to mention before that you may see occasional messages (sometimes a few in a row) stating that there is no work for the 'Hierarchical' searches and thus no work available. Just ignore those and eventually (I haven't ran out of work because of this but I also keep a 3 to 5 day cache of work units...) E@H will send non-ABP1 work.
