I\'ve downloaded practically everything to get started with climateprediction.net but this 22.93 MB \'giant\' -- yes, it is a lot when you are @ 44 kbps and the download hardly ever reaches 2 kbps.

BOINC 5.2.8 got all the way to 98% or so, then he lost the download and restarted it all. Ouch. A 2 hours\' call wasted.

I\'d like to know if I could use GetRight or whatever to successfully download BOINC-proofly this zip file (and obviously where to place it afterwards and how to tell BOINC I\'ve got the zip file) or if I have to wait for Boing to re-donwload everything with the risk of restarting another time.

Bottom note: should this happen again, I\'ll have to detach from the project. Sorry. [This is not intended to be a threat, btw.]

Unfortunately, this project is in the process of moving to the next phase, experiment 2.
The sulphur experiment is a sub-set to investigate the effects of sulphate particles, and is the only one available, as there are over 100K slab models finished, and the researchers want to know more about sulphur effects.
And experiment 2 at the start of February next year will also be a lot bigger than slab, as it is actually a coupled ocean experiment.

If you DO get a sulphur model to download and start, the first \'end-of-phase\' upload is 8.24Mb, with more data than the other \'end-of-phase\' uploads, (2.4Mb).
You really need an adsl connection now, which is why I upgraded.

Someone, somewhere, posted recently about how to get around the download problem, but I can\'t remember how.
The problem with external transfer programs, is that to tell BOINC about what it has to work with, requires editing an xml file in several places.

Last resort:
If you want run cpdn, and ONLY cpdn, there is a non-BOINC version, called classic cpdn, running slab models, available from the Open University course <a href=\"http://www.climateprediction.net/openu/index.php\"> here.</a>
