Dear BOINC Dev,
I'm at a meeting in India with a VERY slow internet connection, and noticed
something odd. My BOINC manager is v6.10.58, Mac OS X. On the Transfers
tab, in the SIze column, the entries are of the form A/B. Many of the files
are showing combinations such as 809/326. I find
hmm, I wonder if (since it's a bad connection) it's doing retries but showing a
cumulative byte count (i.e 4 downloads failed after 200K apiece, but the actual
file is 326k)?

I think it has to do with counting HTTP headers.
I looked at this a while ago but didn't immediately see the problem.
I'll take another look.

Carl, when I said 809 I meant 809 not 809k. You might be correct about the
interpretation -- however if so I would suggest simply showing actual bytes of
the file not bytes transfered in this first column. It makes more sense and is
more useful information. Bruce
