I think that\'s to be expected, given my suggested diagnosis... every time an upload fails, 25MB is transferred from your system. 5GB in 8 days is about one failed upload per hour, which could easily happen if you have a few stuck uploads. If my suggested diagnosis is right, a possible fix would be to increase BOINC\'s upload inactivity timeout... does anyone know whether this is possible? I\'m running AVG 9.0.733 on Windows XP SP3 (32 bit), by the way.

It\'s not necessary to reboot in safe mode to get the transfer to go through, but it does seem to be necessary to temporarily disable the following AVG components * Link Scanner (all three checkboxes) * Web Shield (just the \"Enable Web Shield\" checkbox) * Resident Shield (just the \"Resident Shield active\" checkbox) If any of these is still enabled then the behaviour is that, when a transfer starts, it very rapidly (a few seconds) runs through to 100% (much too fast to be real data transfer). At the same time data starts uploading from the PC (you can see this in Task Manager). After a period (maybe 5-10 minutes, but I haven\'t timed it), the Transfer switches back from \"Uploading\" to \"Retry in hh:mm:ss\". Data continues flowing from the PC for a further few minutes. I think a plausible explanation is that there are several different AVG components which need to inspect network traffic. If any of these is enabled, AVG installs a transparent proxy which accepts the upload, temporarily storing it locally, and starts transferring it to the destination (perhaps inspecting it in the process). A consequence of this, however, is that after BOINC has transferred all the data (in fact to a local cache, but it doesn\'t know this) there is then a period of 15 minutes or so when it sees no traffic before the response from climateprediction.net is received. This is long enough for BOINC to time out and think the transfer has failed.

I think it installs a transparent http proxy which is interfering with the BOINC upload mechanism (perhaps just making it time out?). To get my file to upload, I rebooted in \"safe mode with networking\" (to make sure AVG wasn\'t loaded -- just disabling \"Web Shield\" doesn\'t seem to be enough) and started BOINC. The file uploaded first time.
