Line-By-Line Explanation
- We have to give up on this download the file we have appears to be truncated or corrupt.
- We failed the MD5 tests because the file of directory does not appear to be readable.
- And the specific file and directory is this one named within this message.
- and we had a failure of the MD5 "Signature" testing.
- Checksum or signature error for '(file)'
- And the file that did not pass the Checksum or Digital Signature test was this one named in this message.
- All that leads to an unrecoverable error.
- And we again delay our next attempt to contact the Project's Scheduling Server using the Exponential Back-Off Mechanism.

Line-By-Line Explanation
- Started to download a new Version of a Science Application
- This message indicates that the file has completed the download operation.
- This message indicates the measured speed of the file transfer.
- The Signature for this file given by the Data Server does not match the Signature we calculated it should be after download.
- Checksum or signature error for '(file)'
- So the file is in error
- Causing an "unrecoverable" error for the Science Application download.
- So, lets wait a bit and then try again.

Line-By-Line Explanation
- The BOINC Client Software tried to download a file but was unable to find it on the Project's Data Server.
- Checksum or signature error for '(file)'
- The file validation process failed to complete.
- Causing an "unrecoverable" error for the Result.
- So, lets wait a bit and then try again.
[edit] App Version Download Error (old)
This log was from after BOINC required all files to be signed but Climateprediction had not got around to signing all its files.

Line-By-Line Explanation
- Success in contacting the Scheduler.
- This message indicates the "File Name" of the file that is to be downloaded, and that the download operation has been started.
- This message indicates that the file has completed the download operation.
- This message indicates the measured speed of the file transfer.
- This message means that the file did not download correctly so that the test to ensure that we did get a valid download failed.
- This message tells you the exact file that failed to pass the validation test, and why.
- Because we got a bad file download, we will pause for a moment before we retry getting work.
