    Download problems

    Is anyone else having problems with some of the files for FH not downloading with HTTP errors? I keep getting these and they sit around for a couple of hours and then get aborted.

    Same drives me nuts. Actual i kill freehal during chalenges cause it tends to hijack the cpu from time to time. Also always having to cancel task on reboot cause it hangs up when boinc closes. Just a little rant

    FH has been doing well on my systems for the past two weeks or so. And though this project can frustrate me at times I try not to be critical since it is being run by one individual teenager who just started his first year at university.

    I think of it this way.... We gave a junior congressman whose prior job was arranging social gatherings a crack at running the entire country and being commander in chief. By comparison, letting a college freshman run a BOINC project seems trivial. So, I agree we should cut him some slack.

    I look at it like this: It costs me nothing to run it. Not in CPU, not in me having to do anything. If the tasks don't d/l, or error out, no loss. If the tasks work, then I get "free" credits. Only upside. This team (and I) have made 13 million free credits that way, off of my machines alone.
