	Tom, Re: msg ID 1308 I've detached & re-attached to MindModeling.org/beta. I've reset project. I've tried manually downloading the four files mentioned, no luck. The other WU files come through ok automatically.

	Our project applications can be downloaded in two areas: Our web server OR A Hosting Site Downloads are usually redirected to the hosting site because it can handle more traffic. The connection to the host site was down however, because our redirector had incorrect permissions assigned to it (only root users could view,modify,or execute the redirect file). In the event that this happens, downloads occur on our web server only. Traffic is high in this area and bandwidth small, so downloading the applications through this portal could take hours (maybe days). In any case, the files have been fixed for redirecting to the host site, so downloads should occur normally (and quickly) again. :)

	I have this same issue on 2 of my 5 boxes, with 12-15 MM WU's downloading on each box since yesterday. I DLed the latest VER of BOINC, Detached from MM and rejoined. I get new WU's doing the same thing. We, BOINC SYNERGY are about to start MM as our Project of the Month (POTM) so I really need to resolve this if possible. My messages look the same as BlkJack-21's. One thing I noticed is that the MM "Properties" show that the priority to get and the priority to process WU's are both "0". Is there any way to change that manually? ____________ JoeBnKY; JoeB@KY[/b]

	Try downloading and re-attaching to the project one more time and see if that works. I'm going to "bump" the project right now to make sure all daemons and scripts are running correctly.If that doesn't work, append the missing files names to the following link and you can download them manually from our host site: http://cerici.org/mm/download/ So, for instance, if you need mm_watchdog.exe then you would go to the following link: http://cerici.org/mm/download/mm_watchdog.exe OR you can just download the files you need from here. Drop the files in the /Program Data/BOINC/projects/Mindmodeling.org_beta/ (these folders may be hidden based on your windows settings).Sorry about the hack, but I'm denugging the problem now. Please provide any feedback :)

	If you can't get to the page the first time, try refreshing your browser or loading the url again. I tried it twice and I couldn't get the page to load until I refreshed it each time (traffic?). If that still doesn't work, I can email you the applications in a zip file (so long as this issue is only applicable to a select few people). We hope to have this issue resolved shortly. The computers we're testing download the applications as expected, so we're trying to figure out a pattern for the bug. We'll keep you posted.

	I tried reaching your website on all 5 of my boxes 6-7 times without success; both links. Part of the problem seems to be at your end as I can reach any other link on any other project website on any of my boxes at will. ____________ JoeBnKY; JoeB@KY[/b]

	Please email me the files when you are able/have time. Thank you for your help with this matter. I hope that this resolves the problem. If you want to remote to my aflicted box I am willing to allow it. The only thing on the box is BOINC projects and info.
