Tried to add the project, but the animation with the green dot going between the 2 computers went on for about a minute, before it said "failed to add project".

First post!

I have noticed this issue as well but only with older versions of BOINC (7.14 and 7.16) with new installs of 8.24 it can attach without issue. Does anyone know why this is?
Thank you!

More than likely you need to update to a newer BOINC VERSION if your computer is running Windows 7 or newer. Download and install the latest version from here.

If you are running Windows XP or VISTA you can't update BOINC past version 7.16.20 you can download and install the ca-bundle.crt file from here.

Instructions on how to update the certificate are found at Using older versions of BOINC.
