I did report it to the alpha list. David's response is as follows: David Anderson wrote: Pirates@Home sends 2 <file_info>s that aren't used; the client starts downloads for these, then aborts them (this behavior is new). This doesn't cause any problems, and AFAIK happens only with Pirates. I checked in a change so that the client immediately discards unused <file_info>s. ____________ Kathryn :o) The BOINC FAQ Service The Unofficial BOINC Wiki The Trac System

Thanks for the reports.

Is this something you think is specific to this site? Something I need to look at in the configuration?

Or is it something specific to this version of BOINC (which is the current alpha test release, right?) and should be reported to the alpha test list (too)?
