This thread is to collect useful information in one place. Feel free to add your tips here. ================ A bug has been found in the Windows version of BOINC which means that files larger than 4 GiB (2^32 bytes) are being left behind in slot directories, affecting us and other BOINC projects. Unfortunately, we do produce VM files that large, so we are interfering with these other projects. If you are active on this project, using Windows, please update your BOINC version to a patched version (see this message and thread). "The files that are needed to apply the hotfix are For 64-bit BOINC boinc.080515.x64.zip For 32-bit BOINC boinc.080515.x86.zip Simply extract the two files for your version from the .zip archive, and copy them to your BOINC program folder - you'll need to stop the BOINC client while you do this, and restart it again afterwards."

If patching is nothing for you, download the latest Alpha-Version 7.6.6; it seems to work fine and has the patch already integrated http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php |

BOINC 7.6.1 and up have the fix. |
