I'm not sure if this a well-known problem, so accept my apologies if it is. I have been experiencing problems with Chromium downloading files from the web. I'm running Chromium under Ubuntu on several machines (laptops & desktops) and files that I download are almost corrupted all the time.
In your face example: Go to the Ubuntu download page and download an iso image, then compare the md5sum. Almost every time I downoad a zip or a rar archive, file-roller gives a "file corrupted" message and fails to extract. When I try the same thing with another browser, e.g. Opera, everything works! In some cases, the downloading of the file is suddenly terminated. This happened to me once while downloading the Kubuntu iso image, where Chromium only downloaded less than 1/2 of the file. I have the daily build PPA set up on all my machines and I update my systems almost on a daily basis. Currently, I'm writing this from Chromium version 4.0.225.0 (Ubuntu build 30028) on a Xubuntu laptop. Earlier today I had a problem "corrupted file" with a rar archive downloaded with this same version on the same machine.
