Are you deleting them, or is your BOINC deleting them on each startup? Anyway, it's a benign problem. You could solve it by using a newer BOINC version anyway. I haven't heard of anyone on a 5.4.x version having this problem. ID: 6464 ·

I did not find these files on any of my computers at home. :( Try to download them from my site then. They're in a zip file. Exit Boinc. Unzip the files to \\Boinc\\projects\\setiathome.berkeley.edu\\ Make them read only (properties of each file). Restart Boinc. Setigraphics.zip ID: 6484 ·

I made them ;) (just holler and I'll put them on here in zip format as well as the CPDNs) You could of course update to the latest Boinc version in test: 5.7.3 Then it won't download those files over and over. Although, hold on, as 5.7.4 is about to be released tonight. The 5.7.x versions all have a fix for proxy server problems... ID: 6492 ·
