Hence im afraid it's "on your side", Marius. Have you got the
opportunity to dl (the 24/10 autobuild) via another internet

sourceforge link worked perfectly. it is only when I download from
the autobuild farm, and it is only since fall. (like september or
so). I think it started before the convention. I also did a ssh into my server, downloaded the file to the server
and then from the server to my computer and I did not have
problems. (checksum ok). but when I download directly from the
autobuild link, then I get a corrupted file.
Ok. I understand. This seam really strange, to me at least.
maybe it is related to the download speed? my connection downloads
at 1.5 Mb/s (20seconds). all of my computers have problems to
download the file (mac, windows and linux!) at that speed...
Worth a try it is.
Is it possible to enforce a check during download (which I thought
tcp/ip does automatically)?
I think it does something to check what it gets. And if it gets bad
packages it requests a new one. But i really don't know much about
tcp/ip.
I will test other computers and networks and maybe I find what the
ones that do not work have in common.
That would be good too. But what you say may indicate that speed is a
factor. Though strange. Maybe the router ain't geared for your fast
download rate.
Is there a way to limit the download speed?
curl can with the '--limit-rate' parameter. So something along the
line of:
$ curl --limit-rate 100K http://path/to/autobuild/dmg > dmg # dl @
100K/s
