Greetings, (I have searched the Apache archive without success, for tips on downloading, so I'm posting here.)
I am trying to download the file stdcxx-4.2.1.tar.gz from www.apache.org/dist/stdcxx/ using Firefox 3.0.3 (Using Windows XP SP2.). Small files download ok, e.g. the MD5 sum files, but large files e.g. stdcxx-4.2.1.tar.gz and stdcxx-incubating-4.2.0.tar.gz are giving a file truncation problem. The Firefox download in progress displays the file size of 6.9 MB in the download dialog. The download appears to complete ssuccessfully, but the file size actually stored on my disk drive is only 4.6 MB. The MD5 checksum calculated on the truncated file, of course does not match the value provided by the Apache web site. When I try to unpack the stdcxx-4.2.1.tar.gz file, using 7-Zip 4.57, the .gz opens ok, but when I open the .tar, at "95% Copying" I get a "Data error in 'stdcxx-4.2.1.tar'. File is broken" message. WinZip gave me similar problems. Internet Explorer 6.0 -- displays the file size of 6.9 MB in the download dialog, and indicates a successful completion of transfer, but the file size actually stored is only 4.6 MB. (Same as with Firefox 3.0.3). I have downloaded lots of binary files much bigger than these stdcxx files, from other sites, using Firefox 3.0.3, without any problems. * * * * * * Using FileZilla with archive.apache.org 80, I get the following log: Status: Selected port usually in use by a different protocol. Status: Resolving address of archive.apache.org Status: Connecting to 140.211.11.130:80... Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Error: Connection timed out Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ResetOperation(2114) Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(2114) Error: Could not connect to server but FileZilla works fine with other sites. Using command line ftp, the connection times out: ftp> open www.apache.org 80 Connected to www.apache.org. Connection closed by remote host. ftp> open www.apache.org 80 Connected to www.apache.org. Connection closed by remote host. but I can connect with command line ftp to other sites with no problem. * * * * * * I use Kaspersky Internet Security, and I have downloaded lots of binary files much bigger than these stdcxx files, using Firefox 3.0.3, without any problems. I tried disabling the Kaspersky firewall, and then diabling all of Kaspersky, but I still get the same file truncation problem with stdcxx-s4.2.1.tar.gz. I can connect ok to other ftp sites with Kaspersky firewall enabled. * * * * * * I really want to use the Apache C++ Standard Library with the GNU C++ compiler, because the Apache product seems to me to be superior to what comes with G++. Any suggestions would be most appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/File-truncation-Problem-Downloading-stdcxx-4.2.1.tar.gz-tp20452964p20452964.html Sent from the stdcxx-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
