 I haven't been able to do transfers for about a week now, and the messages tab shows "Project file upload handler is missing" for both of the affected projects.   My other computer is unaffected. I have version 6.10.58. Should I try reinstalling? |

 Which projects and are they otherwise available? (Check their forums, can everyone else upload?) |

 SETI @Home and climateprediction.net.  And as I said, my other computer, working on the same 2 projects, can make transfers just fine.  It's clearly local to this box. I did try un- and re-installing, but with no effect. |

 You'd better ask at the projects anyway, as the file_upload_handler runs at the project server, on the upload server.  Now, it's possible that the work you have is corrupted. You can do a disk check for that, make sure that BOINC isn't running while you run chkdsk (or similar). |

 Thanks, I'll try that. |

 And, it was indeed corrupted work.  Chkdsk found them but it took a proper defrag to fix it, and this morning my completed work uploaded hitch-free.  Thanks Ageless! |
