(moderation:
Look Here For
Your Result ... :)
At the first glance I can see that the client version is still 4.13 which is known to cause problems like this . So if you want to get the credit you claim you should upgrade your BOINC client...

The 4.13 client is known to cause a lot of failed results when a download fails or corrupts the data. As the App seems to have ran properly, this is unlikely to be the case here.
Steffen, can you take a closer look why this result was invalid?
Gert, I agree that you should update your Client, but maybe not in the middle of a Result being crunched (and do an "update project" first).

What happened is that the result missed the 'report deadline' by two days. By the time that your result arrived, the canonical result had already been moved into the archives and was no longer available for validation.
I don't understand why BOINC is sending back results after the deadline at all. I would have thought it would cancel the job after missing the deadline.
In the near future, the web site should do a better job of indicating when a result has failed to get credit because it arrived too late.

OK - you have more experience with BOINC than I do (at least as a user)!
