Boinc 7.0.64 is the version I recommend for older Windows and Linux computers |

hello, I see this all the time on 4 computers, thousands of files a day downloaded, taking up some bandwidth as they download. I don't have any Boinc Client newer than 6.12.43 so I have to put up with it. It clogs up the log file but does not stop the WU from processing normally. If you have a single WU on your computer, even if it has not started, you will be getting these downloads. They will keep going till the WU is finished processing. Maybe I should think about updating my Client? Nah, not just yet, that is a job for another day. Conan Conan |

Yes you REALLY should and sooner rather than later. Your Windows pc's can handle the newer versions just fine, you may have to exhaust your cache first though as you would be going from version 6 to version 7 of Boinc. There have been a ton of 'improvements' since the versions you are using. |

G'Day mike, The OS will need updating before I worry about the BOINC Client, so when I get to that all will change as going from 32 bit to 64 bit with the Windows computers. I couldn't get the 7.xx versions to run on my Linux computers, needed heaps of extra files that I couldn't work out how to get or find, so dumped it. Conan |
