I found some wierd files in the folder:
20040905-131101-Hta2O-spldart.bin
20040905-131101-Hta2O-spldart.txt
20040906-211556-eGzMA-spldart.txt
None of the other ones have done this.  What does it mean?
This boxen is not overclocked.

Those are left over from a "send" process that failed. 

If you rename the ****.txt file back to "results.txt" you can send again.  Of course, it will conflict with the existing results.txt file, so send it first, then rename.

good luck

To give a more thorough answer, you need to know the manual send (and automatic) process.

It renames results.txt to a date, time and random number string followed by your ID.  It is still a text file at this point.  Then it compresses it into a "bin" file for faster transmission and possibly some error checking.  If all goes well, all files are deleted at the end, and sendlog is updated.

never was one.  There was talk of someone porting it, but I think all that ever happened was that they ran it in some sort of emulation mode (and it was pretty fast).  No other info.
