I seem to be having a problem downloading work units. Three tasks are downloading, 40%, 49% and 54% here so far. Elapsed time is between 4 and 5 hours. The deadline for the tasks is showing three o'clock odd, on the 25th. At this rate, they will not have finished downloading by then. What is wrong here? Other projects are not showing any odd behavior.

Probably something in the middle.
BOINCStats is having issues getting the stats file as the site server location is in russia.

I thought they had relocated the project, Slovakia possibly - can't remember, but if it is still in Russia I guess that could account for the problem. It is a sad world, people want to help people. but other people want to kill them. Senseless. Today, the downloads are showing 75% 82% and 89%, they might make it here with enough time to crunch.

I discovered that periodically, clicking "retry now" it would pull a couple of percent more before hanging again. I've managed to get two of the work units downloaded and running. I'll continue that exercise to get the third going. I've no idea if uploading results is going to be the next issue. I feel really sorry for these folk. It is not their fault.

All three are fully downloaded now, the last one took a little elbow grease, but I got it there.

I've set no new tasks, I, again, am having to nurse three work units to download. The log shows "transient http error".
