I ran an upgrade to BOINC, and it said it was missing 4.13 and 5.08. Then it proceeded to download 5.08. The machine is running a 5.15 unit. I do not understand why it\'s looking for and downloading old files that are not needed, wasting space?

I think it\'s that the boinc server code isn\'t aware of what other climate models might be running, so it loads all of them \'just in case\'!
