I included the lines for the subsequent successful download of a work unit from a different server after my client gave up on the first server.

I am posting this so that someone can determine why 155.247.164.214 failed to send a work unit when my client requested one after being assigned to this server.

Looks like the server is low on disk space, and they have had connection problems reported in the past. Have notified the persons running that server.

At least this server is now recognized as down in the Folding@home server stats page at https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats, so the assignment servers will no longer waste clients' time with this server.
