      Sorry, but I can't really make out what your question is. Or problem for that matter.

      Even if Einstein is trying to send you work, it's one big file and the executables. The download isn't 39GB. It's around 40 Megabytes, all in.
      As per this post:

      Quote:
      a complete set of files (that will be used for many tasks you get) can consist of up to 10 files, so the initial download can be more than 40MB (including the Application and other data files that need to be downloaded only once per run). This might be not suitable for dial-up / modem users anymore.

      So for the next time, please type slowly.
      And leave part of your download log (from the Messages tab in BOINC Manager) here for us to scrutinize.

        Just to clarify one point.

          Just to clarify one point. The 'datapack' used to be one big roughly 30 MB file, but currently is broken up into a number of smaller files (~3 to 3.5 MB) and apparently are 'reassembled' locally as needed to run the individual WU's. However the total amount of disk space used for storing the raw data is still 30-35 MB or so at any given time.
