It works fine on all my systems. I was wondering if we could see the reason it doesn’t work for him. I’m not sure what it could be yet, but maybe the cancel files are not getting made for some reason.

The way <a href="http://astrometry.net/" target="_blank" class="">astrometry.net</a> works, to abort the internal or external solvers, a “cancel” file must be made, and once it notices that file, it aborts the solve. It is basically an empty file. What you should see happen is that the one solver solves the image, and then Stellarsolver tells the other solvers to abort, it does this by creating a cancel file for each one. Then when each one shuts down, it will delete its cancel file.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am concerned from your log here that possibly on your system the cancel file does not have the correct name so it is not being made perhaps.
