10 hours worth of folding download failures. I've had to set up my system to run BOINC on downtime periods due to the simple lack of GPU WUs. Many messages cut for brevity. 14:16:24:WU01:FS01:Connecting to 65.254.110.245:8080 14:16:25:WU01:FS01:Assigned to work server 140.163.4.231 14:16:25:WU01:FS0...

Can confirm the same issues on CPU:11 setting.

My last WU from mskcc downloaded in 1 hour (for a 16.30 MiB WU, a better time than normal), and had no issues with transfer failure. I'm shutting the FAHC off for now, but I'll see if there are further issues when I fold tomorrow. EDIT: Can confirm that speed improvement seems somewhat consistent. B...

Correction. I used a proxy checking website, and there's... no proxy server?

Wow, you're quite fortunate, having a connection able to download a GPU WU in a matter of a second. I tried flushing my DNS Cache. No improvement in speed or connectivity.

The folding client already starts the download in advance, by default at 99% of completion of the current WU as shown in your log file. That can be set as early os 90%. But the issue of poor connectivity from your location to the server will still remain. Not certain how to improve that, you may ne...

An update. I had to download another core (If I recall correctly, the a4 core). Even with a changed DNS server, I couldn't download it on my normal connection, but tethering my phone's 4G connection worked. As previously mentioned, both 4G and internet are using the same ISP. Although I think they u...

An update. Further WUs have downloaded and been executed successfully. The issue, for me, seems to be fixed. At least until there's another core update.

I tried doing a tracert using both 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. No issues with either tracert to cores.foldingathome.org. Strange.

@bollix47 I'll be sodding damned. I tried a different solution. My desktop had wireless functionality, so I decided, on a hunch, to tether my phone's 4G connection to my desktop. 17:16:20:WU00:FS00:Downloading core from http://cores.foldingathome.org/Win32/AMD64/AVX/Core_a7.fah 17:16:20:WU00:FS00:Co...

@bollix47

This didn't work either. Thanks for the effort, though.

@OntosChalmer Did you copy the file(s) from the old tree to the new one? It's not just a matter of creating the new tree, you need to copy the .exe and any .dll from the old structure to the new one. Also, where was your old Data Directory? If it was under AppData\FAHClient and was working previous...
