I don\'t know how BOINC started downloading a work file, but apparently it did. However, something is wrong, because the work file has been \"downloading\" for two days (even when I\'m not on line). What should I do? Thx. ID: 17782 · Reply Quote

Go to the toolbar of BOINC Manager and select File/Exit. Restart BOINC. You may even want to restart the computer. Does that make a difference? If it doesn\'t, ask again, including anything relevant in the messages tab of BOINC Manager. There is lots of information about BOINC, with pictures, in the BOINC-Wiki. ID: 17787 · Reply Quote

The files that Sarasue is trying to download are only about 10 MB or so. The 2 GB of files that you are talking about are either ones generated in the course of running several experiments (see the BOINC-Wiki if that is a problem) or because you have been recording the visualisation - see this thread.
