BOINC couldn't resolve your computer's host name or IP address. Your firewall may be blocking communications on port 80, or you are behind a proxy server.

'''ERR_GIVEUP_DOWNLOAD -114'''

This error is generated in general, when a reference to a certain URL, project or result's name is invalid. In detail that is:
 
* The project as stated in the state file can't be found.
* The result as stated in the state file can't be found.
* The requested version of a science application for a certain task can't be found.
* Missing or incorrect project URL.

* The science app respectively it's corresponding file containing a soft link to the executable file can't be found.
 
This error may also be issued if a trickle (used by some projects) can't be generated due to a missing/wrong project/result name.


'''ERR_NEG -117'''
 
This error is generated when the requested slot number (the working directory for a result) is negative.


'''ERR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW -118'''
 
This error is generated, if e.g. the length of the path-/file name for a given file exceeds 1023 Bytes. May not happen on Windows systems, since AFAIK the maximum path-/file name allowed under Windows is 260 bytes. 


'''ERR_MD5_FAILED -119'''

BOINC couldn't find a signature on the file it downloaded. 

Solution: Complain about it on the project's forums. It may be their error. 
Also try to reset your project. It could be that your public key got corrupted. A project reset fixes that. 


'''ERR_RSA_FAILED -120'''

BOINC couldn't check the encryption key on a file it downloaded. Does the file have a signature? 

Solution: Complain about it on the project's forums. BOINC will try to download the file again.
Also try to reset the project. It may be that your public key is corrupt. A project reset should fix that.
