BUG? Always downloads file badly with enabled extension

Post by James D »

Strange but with enabled addon I always get corrupted file: whether I choose built-in browser downloader or Download Master.

LINK https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1 ... aner/1388/
FILE adwcleaner_7.0.8.0
BROWSER Waterfox 56.0.4
OS Windows 7 x64
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

UPDATE

Or maybe not... Looks like built-in browser might work sometimes with enabled Flashgot but Download Master always fails to download intact file.
Maybe virus? Anyone who has DM, does it work for you?

Update 2

Looks like it's not a problem of flashgot... It's either link itself or DM itself.
But if anyone cant test it with DM - please do so.

Very easy to verify if your download is correct or not.
The download page provides hashes.

Code: Select all

Signatures/Checksums

    MD5 · 53024887a726f80fd97af715d3a26ad6
    SHA1 · 53707201009c40bb1f31a11a812d06bab82f4040
    SHA256 · c9cfb0a07961616d5c4779e8a187d2eab91d4310166c07f5063f1dc13d9ff5ba
So the hash of your download compares with the checksum above, then your download is good.

My download was fine.

Yes, I know for sure if files are corrupted, ерт not just don't launch and give error but have wrong hashes.
Did you download it with any kind of download manager? Now I know it is not flashot the culprit because as soon as I set DM to download in 1 thread it works fine. same with browser, old FF52 with disabled e10-s works fine.
