Corrupt download but no error is shown #349
Description
I've been using HTTP Downloader for a while, and this issue has happened only twice as far as I can tell.
A few days after Google announced their coding app AntiGravity (last month) I downloaded it from here:
https://antigravity.google/download
The download finished just fine. But as I was installing it and the installer, which is basically an extractor it seemed, there was an error. I don't remember the exact error. It was probably showing something related to failure to extract one particular file. Even on repeated attempts, there was always the issue.
Then I downloaded the same file via my browser, and it installed just fine. I checked the hash of both files and saw that it was different. I downloaded again using HTTP Downloader and this time the hash was the same as the one downloaded from the browser.
I thought okay, maybe some server issue.
Now the same thing has happened again today when I download the WezTerm Terminal nightly edition zip file:
https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/releases/download/nightly/WezTerm-windows-nightly.zip
It failed to extract one file in the zip.
I redownloaded the file using HTTP Downloader and this time it extracted successfully, and I see that the hash is different.
So, it's a very rare random issue that almost never happens but when it happens, there is no way to know without using the file as the download finished without any error.
I don't know if this was reported before.
Edit: As I was looking through the opened GitHub issues to check if someone reported something like this before, I saw someone mentioning another download manager for downloading YouTube videos. I thought let's check how it is and I faced the same issue once again while installing the downloaded app.
The file HTTP Downloader downloaded had issues. Different hash than what it was supposed to be. Redownloading worked. So, it happened twice today.
That download manager was very bad btw. Uninstalled immediately.
