Я ещё раз приношу извинения за русский язык.
Мне трудно переводить, я не владею английским.

In reply to Natalia Makarova's message of 16 Mar 2025:
I apologize again for the Russian language.
It is difficult for me to translate, I do not speak English.

If you want, you can always translate your words from Russian to English or any variety of languages using Google Translate using copy and paste.

This is what I do with web pages/texts that are not in English such as your posts here.

That there are Downloads Failing I can understand, sometimes things just go wrong.

But what is happening now is caused by a wrong setting.

The max number of error is set to 40. That is ridiculous high.
Set this to a much lower number and the WU will after a few attempts juist fail
With the high setting it will take a very long time to reach fail point and that is just a waist of time and effort.

In the mean time the admin should just remove these failures from the database.

Natalia Makarova, the "lead scientist" and "volunteer moderator" of the project is apparently at the mercy of the so called "project administrator(s)" who should be fixing things and not just letting the errors continue for what has been 3+ months so far for what probably is an easy fix on the download errors.

If I had more free time on my hands, better knowledge of Linux and the BOINC SERVERS back end I might of been willing to offer a one time limited offer with a helping hand.
