Folding download failure

[arogge]

My Folding@home software is no longer working. I'd guess that the problem is that somebody is trying to use the address 0.0.0.0. It was working fine until last week. How should I fix this problem?

This is what the command line client says:


- Preparing to get new work unit...
- Autosending finished units...
+ Attempting to get work packet
Trying to send all finished work units
+ No unsent completed units remaining.
- Autosend completed
- Will indicate memory of 1024 MB.
- Connecting to assignment server
Connecting to http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/

Initial: 0000; - Successful: assigned to (0.0.0.0).
+ News From Folding@Home: Welcome to Folding@Home
Work Unit has an invalid address.
Error: Attempt #1 to get work failed, and no other work to do.

not sure what's going on here. my advice would be to just redownload the binary from stanford and reinstall it

You could try just deleting the queue.dat file and see what happens.

I reinstalled the GUI version and deleted the queue file. The application opened a new queue file but it still doesn't seem to be downloading a new work unit.

I deleted the whole Folding@home directory in /Users/Me/Library. I restarted the application, entered my user name and MacRumors team number, and it says:

+ Downloading new core: FahCore_82.exe
Downloading core (/~pande/OSX/PowerPC/Core_82.fah from www.stanford.edu)
- Error: HTTP GET returned error code 404
+ Error: Could not download core


What am I doing wrong?

PowerPC?

What machine you try to Fold on?

What machine you try to Fold on?

I'm using a G4 workstation. Again, this was working fine until about two weeks ago. Something has changed and it doesn't look like it's on my end now.

i wonder if that means they aren't accepting anything from ppc anymore?

[arogge]

I deleted the Folding@home Library files again and turned on the option in the Network preferences to "Allow work units larger then 5MB". Yikes! Grammar! Stanford programmer, back to English 101 for you! :rolleyes: Now I am receiving work units again. :)
