I'm trying to run Folding@home on a Linux box. After configuration, I get the following output:

[17:33:20] Work directory not found. Creating...
[17:33:20] Could not open work queue, generating new queue...
[17:33:20] - Preparing to get new work unit...
[17:33:20] + Attempting to get work packet
[17:33:20] - Connecting to assignment server
[17:33:20] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server
[17:33:20] + Could not connect to Assignment Server

In other words, it can't connect to the Folding@home server. My box is connected to the Internet and doesn't have any unusual proxy settings; I can use curl just fine, for instance. Yet Folding@home has consistently refused to connect to any server. I've tried this several times over the last couple of days. Any ideas?

(I posted this question initially. Apologies for using StackOverflow rather than SuperUser—now I reaize the error of my ways.)

This turned out to be a temporary problem. I tried the same steps again a couple of days later, and it connected to the Folding@home server just fine. Evidently, I had exceptionally bad luck on my first several tries.
