BUG: Binary files corrupted/truncated on download |
There is a strange bug in the WM: when you try to download a binary file from the archive (such as the one found at
http://web.archive.org/web/20010615045539/http://www.strong.sat.hu/soft/softs/4355_0222ce.zip), the file ends up becoming truncated on *every* download. Worsening this problem is the fact that there is no resume support. This essentially makes downloading archived binary files impossible, as a few bytes will always be missing, just enough to make the entire file unusable in most cases. I'm trying to download the file found at the link I included as an example, as well as a few other files I need, but the files always end up truncated. Trying to download with Free Download Manager fails entirely, because it notices the truncation and tries to resume, but resume is unsupported, so it just sits there.

Re: BUG: Binary files corrupted/truncated on download |
After much fooling around, I figured it out.
Open the file in a hex editor, and add "00" at the end.
For some reason this is being omitted when the file is downloaded.
