You will note in the messages that will follow that the BOINC downloaded a work file. Then uploaded it after it was downloaded. Why is this happening? All settings are normal for my system as per my understanding VIA trial and error during the beginning to now of use of BOINC, and by instructions from BOINC support. The only change made recently was to set a area of time for work to be done "Start working: Hour / Stop working: Hour" settings in user settings dialog. These were reset to "00.00" & "00.00" after I couldn't get the BOINC to run because of the change made. BOINC resumed operation after the change back. Two other work files disappeared yesterday as I informed BOINC VIA a threat in this forum.

Lightsttn1 Send message Joined: 6 Aug 06 Posts: 27	Message 5249 - Posted: 9 Aug 2006, 10:28:15 UTC - in response to Message 5230. BOINC 5.5.x is always an ALPHA version of BOINC. If you aren't testing BOINC, go with the normal version, recognized by the even middle number. If the middle number is odd, it's a testing version, which will have lots of bugs. MY REPLY: I'm really gonna remember the odd, and even thing. I still say adding the one additional character in the second number as: "BOINC 5.B5.x" I like this better. The second "5" still needed how ever to tell how far the BETA is along as a major update to the BETA, and the last number is also as minor fixes to the BETA. Additionally, I liked the indicator you added to 5.5.6's tray Icon. If you pause the BOINC it displays the BOINC logo with an white Equal sigh on it letting you know it is in pause / user suspended operation mode. I hope you will add the indicator to the newer BOINC. I have to pause the BOINC when I'm trying to do some work, or trying to play a game off, or on-line. It shows me that the BOINC is active, or inactive at a glance. One thing please don't change the BOINC logo except to add the indicator and down the line because like Active Worlds " A virtual Reality web site" did. I have many Icons on my quick-launch task bar, and since the changed their logo for the Icon I have to look again, and again for the new Icon as it is no longer showing the original "AW" lettering that was in it's Icon. Having several generic Icons causes a problem. Thank You in Advance for finishing repairs in BOINC, and adding Please, the System Tray Icon Indicator shown in the "BOINC 5.5.6" ID: 5249 ·
