My client is stuck at "Attempting to get work packet". Tried turning my firewall off, didn't change the problem. Running windows 7, Nvidia GTX 1060.

Here's my log file:

Welcome to the folding@home support forum zoidbergo.

One of the more commonly used servers is down at the moment. Returning finished work to it and getting new work from it won't be possible until it is 'fixed'. Other servers are handing out work but sometimes it takes a while to get a WU from them due to lower availability.

We are seeing a lot of reports for the same problem ... we can only be patient until the problems at Stanford are corrected.

From that thread it seems like the server is back up, but I haven't seen any change. I'm still trying every day but my problem persists.

We would need to see the first 100 lines of your log.txt file which shows your system setup and your folding configuration. The log you've supplied above doesn't look like a version 7 log. Where did you get it? If you installed using the defaults log.txt should be in your Data Directory. Since you're using windows you should be able to access that directory via Start > All Programs > Fahclient > Data Directory.

Here's a link that might help you find and post the correct log:

p.s. If you're still using version 6 (which the supplied log suggests) switching to version 7 would be advisable:

I can't believe it took me this long to figure out I just downloaded an old version. The new version works. Thanks!
