Well, that indeed wouldn't be that bad, but what I objected against was the poster asking There is a HUGE difference between using a command like the above every 10 minutes (or manually hitting [Retry now] or selecting "Retry pending transfers" every few minutes) and doing this "every X seconds"...

If you really have that many stuck download files that you have to resort to such automated tools, this will as I mentioned result in a lot of additional connection requests, which are in short supply. Let's say you have 200 files to download (that's about 40 OPN1/OPNG WUs worth), doing that every 10 seconds, that creates up to 1200 additional requests a minute...If just 100 people are doing such nonsense, that are an additional 120,000 connections attempt per minute.There are still thousands of people trying to download their share of WUs on WCG. Do the math as to the additional strain that is put on the system overall, making thing sso much worse, for everyone...

Some folks just "don't get it"...

OP - What would be great is the first post actually links to, or references to what solved the issues instead of merely saying "issue solved".
Finding myself having to instead checking the rest of the thread anyway.

Regarding the issue, for me it's still not solved and I've done the boinccmd several times, and no idea where that wcg "command" would be if it even exists, maybe I missed where it's referenced originally.

Between this, this website going down repeatedly, it's getting a bit old. I started creating threads on the /worldcommunitygrid reddit to know how to troubleshoot this as obviously most of the time I have this issue, the site is down too, thus the forums (aka this thread) is/are unavailable.

Using 2 linux installs and both whenever there is a reboot for linux updates, go through this same hassle. It's frustrating.

You can run Folding@home . It loads a computer more than WCG, especially the GPUs. I hope to see you when WCG gets sorted out.

But...does anyone know why on here MCM GPU tasks keep jamming up in http transient errors? I run the whole day and come back to my computer and see 20 tasks "downloading" but trapped in transient error hell. Really getting old.

I have no confirmation on the subject but the 107 bytes downloaded before a download failed could only be the size of the error message corresponding to "connection unavailable" or "page not found"
