Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Jim]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

When downloading this file with firefox (tried 3 times) I got an error from the Stuffit 10.0 app: "17535"

I searched on google and it said to try downloading in Safari instead. Worked first go when downloading form Safari.

I have had errors form stuffit when downloading before, but never thought to try downloading from another browser. Probably more wide spread than just this zip file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
2. Select the Mac Version 5.4.9 Recommended version(standard GUI)
3. After its finished downloading try to open it with stuffit.

Actual Results:  
I got an error message form stuffit saying:  error "17535"

Expected Results:  
Should have unzipped the zip file.

hi, try opening the file that you downloaded in firefox with notepad (you might have to change its extension to .txt). i had this problem but i though it was my proxy. the first two lines of the file had information about the filesize and the timestamp and on the third line was nothing and the data started on the fourth line. i am not sure if it was firefox or my proxy but anything could go wrong with computers.
