FahCore_82.exe Download Failed

[daveL]

I can't really remember this happening before, but F@H has been trying for more than 12 hours now to download a new core (to me). I keep getting:

Error: HTTP GET returned error code 404

on every attempt to download the core. I've already tried kill the "fah5" process and starting it again, which did start the download attempts anew, but still no joy. Seems odd to be given a WU when the corresponding core seems to be unavailable. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Are you using the 68k script?

Are you using the 68k script?

Yes, and I have been for 2 years or so.

wow thats weird. i'm not as into folding as i used to be so ive never seen this problem. sounds like something on stanford's end???

i can think of one solution...someone here could zip up fahcore82 and post it. id do that right now but all the folders are at work

Process 2 on my G4 is having the same issue

It is getting a 404 error on that process, and it won't turn in my previous work unit. All IP and internet connectivity is doing well. I will see if Process 1 runs into the same problem when it is completed.

Well, after about 18 hours, it finally gave up trying to download the 82 core and went on to a different WU that didn't require that core. It was definitely on Stanford's end. So, I lost a better part of a CPU-day. Oh well. Thanks for the interest, nonetheless.

i wonder if a single processor machine that repeatedly requests core82 and never gets it just hangs forever?

that would suck for the whole project

The weird thing is that I have never seen a core82 before on any of my machines. I wonder if this is an x86-only core, and the Folding WU server isn't picking up the fact that a Mac has requested the work? Anyway, I hope I don't get another one.

looks like its a known problem. fahcore82 seems to be a pc only core, ppl in the thread just say to delete it and start over
