Hi folks! A couple of days

Hi folks!

A couple of days ago, after app 1.09 became official, I set up a new Linux computer. It found and downloaded the new app just fine. Now though, I've emptied the cache on two other Linux machines, so that I could switch from the beta app to the official app. On both of these machines, I've not been able to download the official app. They keeps trying, but apparently can't contact the download server. (They can however, find and download the regular hierarchical 1.06 app.)

On the SETI boards it says

On the SETI boards it says that the ALFA receiver is down for maintenance until November. This might be the reason you are not getting ABP1 units.

I'm getting the units. It's just that I'm not getting the application.

How are your computing preferences in Einstein? Did you allow all applications?

Einstein has hundreds of hours of data in stock. Per day they use about 20 minutes worth, so they'll easily survive the outage at Arecibo.

I haven't changed anything, other than deleting the APB beta apps and the app_info.xml file.

Did you try restarting BOINC?

Yes. The problem isn't on my end.

I haven't been paying proper attention lately - I wasn't even aware that the test app had been made 'official'.

What I normally do is run the cache dry and report, stop BOINC, delete app_info.xml and delete the reference to the test app that is inserted into the state file. I don't delete the test app itself if the same app has become 'official'.

When BOINC restarts with no reference to the test app in the state file, it realises that it has to go to the project for the official app, but it also realises that it already has a copy of the official app so it skips the download and just continues to use the test app as the official app - since nothing has really changed.

If you still have a copy of the test app, maybe this technique would 'work around' the problem of not being able to download (for whatever reason) the new app. just wondering out loud :-).

Cheers,
Gary.
