Checksum Problem

(moderation:
Can you tell us the exact size the file has on your HD? It should be in BOINC/project/einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ . The error messages look quite verbose to me compared to what I know of the 4.19 client - which client version are you running?
You may simply reset the project to start over from scratch. You should also be able to grep the full URL of the file from the clinet_state.xml file. You can stop the Client, download it with any other program into the directory mentioned above and start the client again.

On our server:
md5sum ./176/H1_1251.4 869639556d07fc535c0ba4b16a4d0523 ./176/H1_1251.4
The 4.19 and above clients should (I thought) retry the download in this case. What client version are you using? Earlier clients may not have done this and left you with an incorrect data file.
