Missing Core_a2

Post by xhsiao »

My PC just downloaded a new WU, project 4433, that needs FahCore_a2.exe. FAH tries to download Core_a2.fah from the server but fails repeatedly. I looked into

Code: Select all

http://www.stanford.edu/~pande/Win32/x86/
and guess what, the file is not there. Core_a0.fah and Core_a1.fah are there, but not Core_a2.fah. Could someone put it back up?

Code: Select all

Core A2 is a SMP core that's available only for Linux and OSX. You shouldn't have been assigned a work unit requiring this core. Thanks for reporting the problem; we're looking into it.

We found and fixed the problem. Please delete this work unit and your queue.dat file (if you have no unsent work units remaining). We're switching a new server over to SMP and some of the settings weren't updated correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

After enough failed retries, the client deleted the WU by itself, and downloaded a new one. Thanks for the info.
