Except for one task this afternoon, I've been unable to successfully download tasks. The transfers look normal during the download, but the tasks are labelled: "download failed".
Typical event log entries:

I reset Einstein within BOINC Manager, and also removed and reinstalled it. I even bounced my home network (modem, router, switch). Problem persists.
Thanks in advance.

You are not the only one complaining of failed downloads today. Server issues we assume.
Thanks!

Me too, but only this one. In the following days all wingman had the same http error until treshold of 20 was reached and scheduler stopped creating further tasks for this one.

And me too. Trying to download new Gravity Wave tasks. Keep getting allocated new skygrid.dat files, together with large numbers of h1_ and l1_ data files. Server download link is horribly congested, so download speeds are slow, and logs are large.
Process seems to be:
start download of one data file (small), and the skygrid file (large)
several data files complete before the skygrid, task remains in 'downloading' status.
at some point (undetermined so far), task status changes to 'download failed' for all tasks in the batch, together.
other data files continue to download slowly.
I haven't found any download failure messages in the Event Log yet, but I'll keep looking.
Host is 12788501 - Linux Mint 20.3, BOINC v7.20.5, usually reliable.

But that's not a 'permanent http error' as happened last week for many BRP4G (BRP4X64) CPU tasks which failed to download completely.... for days:
Richard's error was caused by something different. Corrupt files, wrong checksum in xml file description, partial downloads, timeouts... Who knows? Einstein team will fix it. That's for sure. ;-)
Same skygrid and data files are required by many tasks. If the download of such a file fails (after several attempts), that means download of the entire batch of tasks which need this/these file(s) failed. Each task defines its file dependencies within its XML header.
Example (FGRP5):
I'm also having this error.

I'm also having this error. It happened for every single task until the daily limit was reached.

Your preferences are set to hide your computers so no other volunteer can look for a reason.
Either allow your computers to be viewed by others, or provide a link to the machine in question, or post a relevant snip from the error messages as given in the event log to document the problem fully so as others can see sufficient details. You don't even mention what type of tasks were involved so how do you expect others to be able to comment?
Cheers,
