Hello all,
I am getting this type of error message from Ibercivis server. I've contacted isp, all running fine. Ibercivis have no idea so far.
My question is: Is it possible for Boinc to double chech network bandwidth availability?
My other question is: This check is controlled by BOINC or by Ibercivis servers?
Thank you very much.

In the client_state.xml I found this:
<net_stats>
<bwup>12405.429504</bwup>
...
<bwdown>1978.895233</bwdown>
I have edited and corrected the bwup value but it returns to the same value.
I will keep on trying...
Tks.
-----------------
I was doing the change with boinc running.
So now the value I entered, 12405.429504, allows the receipt of new tasks from the project server. All back to normal state.

Yes that's it. I was doing the change with boinc running.

I have same as yours so I will use your values. But it seems that any project servers can change this value "Your computer has been measured at 1.93 KB/sec." That is fine if they do perform several measurements. If they do one and get a value out of their range and simply abandon that peer, that could be altered in order to give one more chance do that pc, right?
Tks.

Yes, any value above minimum required (in this case 1.96 KB/sec) is ok. Afterwards it will be adjusted.
Now the part of my previous post: whenever BW measurement falls under a certain threshold, the application should not stop getting and updating the client_state.xml file with more BW measurements readings in order to enable the project to send work for that machine. What is happening now is that for some reason adsl 2+ goes down when a dw/load is about to be performed. From that moment on, no more work will be sent to that machine, as the file will not be updated anymore.
How to avoid this? Is it a Boinc or a Ibercivis issue?

I kept testing and found out that this problem just happens to machines running linux. Microsoft OS machines using same connection never displayed this error / message.
I've found other users complaining about this issue, old versions of BOINC for linux included (2008). Just while using linux OS, other OS machines sharing same internet connection, do not suffer of this.

The above (31583) is not true. It happens with both Linux and Microsoft OS's.
