I caught the messages below today:
Eventually the upload finished successfully, but the error message seemed to indicate a problem on the server.

Aha, something is the matter!

Trickles are locked to a particular server. If the server is down, its a matter of waiting until it\'s online again.

10-year uploads, though, are different. Carl structured them to use the three available servers dedicated to that purpose; two are in England, one in Switzerland. (They\'re not associated with Trickles.) If an upload fails on one, boinc will try another. This is what you experienced with your second-try success.

Messages don\'t indicate why the upload succeeded on second try, but the \"fall back\" programmed into the uploads did the trick.
