If this is a recurring error in your Event Log (I coukln't tell if you saw it only once or multiple times):
It sounds as if there is an error in one of your XML-files in the BOINC-directory. You might want to stop boinc temporary and try investigating each XML-file, preferably with a XML-validator program like XML Copy Editor (xmlcopyeditor), probably to be found in each Linux repository, unless you can spot the error easily in a different way, and then fix the error. Or else reinstall Boinc. |

You are right. Turns out there's a bug in the BOINC client in detecting coprocs on my machine. It generates "broken" sched_request_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml. Removing one of the coprocs and the error goes away.
But I am not sure why WCG having problem while other projects work just fine... |

Removing one of the coprocs and the error goes away. But I am not sure why WCG having problem while other projects work just fine... Well, that's funny, because you're mentioning sched_request_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml and when I googled your "Error in request message: no end tag" message, I stumbled across this thread on the Einstein@Home site where someone named Diplomat attached the contents of their sched_request_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml (which is also a sched_request_….xml) file. Upon looking into the contents of that attachment with xmlcopyeditor, I noticed the resulting message: "Error at line 9177, column 1: not well-formed (invalid token)". Upon inspecting the lines around that line, this is what I found: <file_info> Indeed, a broken '<name></name>'-tag!  |

It seem that download issue is resolved.
----------------------------------------No more fails and retries. So boinccmd is not anymore needed.

The issue is back, yeah. Can't download anything. It's way too bad, I just came back to WCG after years of inactivity! Not the best moment.

use the really dirty way by creating a crontask with
----------------------------------------"/usr/bin/boinccmd --network_available" every 10sec (no need to run it as root) ----------- For Windows users the command is: "C:\Program Files\boinc\boinccmd" --network_available The quotes are required because of the space between Program and Files. This will force your boinc_client to restart downloads without pending time.
