No new work from the project for the last several days and I've been 24/7/ connected for several years. What's up?

OK, lets try to see if it is a DNS error someplace.

1) Stop BOINC.
2) Power cycle your router (if you have one). Or flush the DNS cache on the router through its interface if that can be done.
3) From a command prompt type "ipconfig /flushdns"
4) Restart BOINC and see if it can download.

If you have another computer that has the executable downloaded, you can copy the file from your other computer.

There is also a web page someplace that has this executable available for download. I am not certain of the URL, but it has been posted in the forums someplace.
