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.
