Since Christmas I received lots of emails that reported exactly this problem. To get worse, I can't reproduce the problem at my place (Europe, Switzerland, Bern).
The problem obviously is the following: On line 132 of the file download.bat the command wget.exe begins to download the file project.html, as you can see above. This file should has a size of 1'770'263 bytes. But, as visible above, wget.exe stops the download after having retrieved only 154'416 bytes. So the file project.html is broken. For that reason, the behaviour of the remaining code within download.exe is somewhat undefined. It is *very* important to find the cause of this unexpected behaviour of wget.exe. Has sourceforge.net changed something? Here some successions what can be done if those problems don't vanish as suddenly as they were appeared. If one of these successions clearly resolves the issue, I would be glad to hear it. Thousand thanks! I assume that the newest version 0.6.17 of GetGnuWin32 is in use: 1. Open download.bat with a text editor, e.g. with notepad.exe, go to line 132 and change there the URL https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617 to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617 2. As 1, but additionally remove the option --ca-certificate=bin\cacert.pem from line 132. 3. As 1 and 2, but additionally do the following steps: a) Remove wget.exe from the bin\ directory. b) Download (manually) wget.exe from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm c) Use this version (10.1) of wget.exe instead of the version (10.2) that comes with GetGnuWin32. 4. If you are behind a proxy server, change line 75ff of bin/wget.ini. Make sure, that the environment variable WGETRC isn't defined or points to bin/wget.ini or to another valid wgetrc file 5. If you are behind a proprietary NTLM server of Microsoft (but I think you are not), install for instance the NTLM Authorization Proxy Server (http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/) that Darryl Dixon has created. The first view lines that download.bat writes to screen should look like this: --%<-- C:>download --20:50:43-- https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617 => `project.html' Resolving sourceforge.net... 66.35.250.203 Connecting to sourceforge.net|66.35.250.203|:443... connected.
