I\'ve been getting the above messages for days now.

Does anyone know what the matter is and how I can fix it?

I\'m running BOINC 4.8.16 with 3 tasks from CPDN:
hadcm3lb 5.08
hadcm3 5.15
hadcm3i 5.40

I should add that it\'s 3 files that can\'t be downloaded:
sulphur_data...
sulphur_um...
sulphur_se...

The messages above are for sulphur_um... but the others look about the same.

Abort the downloads, they will stop asking.

When upgrading to some of the newer versions this happens. It\'s a legacy bit that is not quite cleaned up correctly, so BOINC thinks it needs more items that it does.

Once you abort the transfer, the messages should stop.

I\'m not sure if aborting the download will fix the problem in the long term.

I had the same dowload error ages ago after I manually deleted the sulphur* files from my projects/climateprediction.net directory thinking they weren\'t needed any more. I checked client_state.xml and found that sulphur was still a registered application, so I stopped BOINC and manually deleted the relevant <app>, <file_info> and <app_version> sections.

That\'s not something I\'d advise doing without being clear about the structure of the file, taking a full backup of your BOINC directory first and taking great care with the edit. If you accidentally delete an <app> section which has work in progress all the underlying sections will be automatically deleted when you restart BOINC and the tasks will error out. I discovered that one when I got too complacent with the editing on one system!

I have upgraded a couple versions since this happened, and I aborted the downloads. I have had no issues, and I did not change the XML files.
