Hi,

i tried to download the linux client several times, but i always got an CRC Error :(

[jb@snorky Downloads]$ gzip -d boinc_4.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.gz

gzip: boinc_4.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: boinc_4.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu.gz: invalid compressed data--length error

I unpacked my client using Ark, which was automatically run by Konqueror (under KDE)

Did your tech wear a static strap? No? Well, there ya go! :p

Hi.

Okay, a couple of things to check. What's the file size on the archive? If it's ~3.7 MB, then you should use md5sum to see what the hash is for the file you've got. The correct hash should be:

24ae5c218eeda70daf793352d19c914e

If the file you got is ~9 MB, then it seems possible that the file got decompressed during download. If the file size is ~9 MB, rename it so that it's missing the .gz extension. If it's a valid executable, md5sum should return a hash value for this file of:

5322fb39dd6af736bc8aee6c31db35b8

Assuming that the size (9458934 bytes) and hash are correct, you can just chmod the file to be executable and away you go.
