downloading

The client has stopped working and is stuck on downloading, but it doesn't download because it is getting an error! Anybody else having the problem? Do I need to add another project?

Thanks,
Erik

Re: downloading

The log says "could not connect to server," are the servers down or something? Do I need to update the client?

Re: downloading

It says can't connect to internet but the internet is working and I can surf webpages. Is there a proxy setting I should be using? I also updated the client, and the project is world community grid. Am I missing anything?

Re: downloading

As branjo suggested reboot your PC then in BOINC Manager bring up the Event Log CTRL+Shift+E

Copy + Paste the first 60 lines so we can get some idea of what might be wrong.

Re: downloading

I guess somebody didn't allow the connection to go through the firewall. So everything is working good now. Thanks everybody.
