The above file doesn't have the execute bits set so they fail to run.
The 1004_Gaia one does.

When I ran it recently it worked fine on the hosts to begin with.
After a period of time some hosts started to get 1 or 2 results with 8.33 credit, after a while those hosts would not get good credit so I stopped them running the project. Other hosts continued to run fine without any problems, I suspect once whatever triggers them to go bad they stay bad, perhaps a reboot [I think I tried that without success though] or something else is needed to reset the behaviour. Hosts that have been bad in the past will start working again when I try months later.

I can see no pattern within the tasks that are sent out, a bad task will get resent out to another host and it will complete and get full credit.

What does concern me when they are bad is why everybody gets 8.33 points no matter how long it takes to complete.
Is 8.33 some default value within the validation procedure that is used ?
Is something within the returned results triggering the validation procedure to drop out and give the 8.33 credits ?
Normally tasks that take longer on the same host get more credit than shorter ones.

Just some observations :)

Anybody got a workaround for team creation?
One workaround would be to join another team ;)

It is a problem that requires the server code to be changed that Sergey has already linked to, it needs the admin (Zupa) to action.

The 1_ series are downloading okay.
