I just completed my very first cp.net WU on my mac today and I got a file upload error, so now my status is error ...

I know in SETI@Home this causes interesting problems for the other participants ... does it cause similar things here... and/or is there something else I need to do?

Just for interest's sake, it ate my first anchor tag ... but allowed it on edit... ask Janus, he might know why ...

<P>I also have this problem. I just finished a run with BOINC client 4.05 and the

<P>Is there a way to re-zip &amp; re-upload the results? Do I need to change anything in my setup (like upgrade to a newer version of the BOINC client? I could use a clue fix here. :) </P>

As long as the final trickle (phase 3, timestep 259248) went through, and there are no "result#_[1-5].zip" files in your boinc/climateprediction.net directory, it's probably OK. I don't really use the BOINC status for credits, what "counts" are the trickles and the file uploads.

The final trickle did indeed make it and there are no result*.zip files
anywhere so it looks like it's OK.

Thanks for the help. I just wanted to make sure that all those months
of computing made it to y'all. :)
