For some reason I cannot upload a simap WU from my computer, this is the message that I keep getting in my message log:

And on the website it shows that everything is running in the green. I thought it may have been the new server that they got that might have been the delay, but they haven't posted anything. I'm about to kill the file and disconnect simap at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't "kill the file" until you have seen it standing there for *days*.

Okay, i'll hold on to it until it goes past the deadline date of August 20th.

You could try restarting BOINC, maybe it's caching the server's IP. If you do, go to transfers tab and click Retry Now (so you don't have to wait the 3-hour back off).

Its gone. Thank you. I need to remember that for the next time that decides to happen.
