unable to download from sourceforge.net
May 10, 2007, 07:33:02 am
hi!

i'd really love to try out civicrm it seems to be exactly what i need (lots of positive reviews!)
but i can't download any of the files from sourceforge.net  :-[

i tried to download the  civicrm-1.7.9379-joomla-php4.zip and the civicrm-1.7.9379-joomla-php5.zip
but it always stops at 3.60MB in firefox 2.0.0.3 and the same in internetexplorer 7.0.5730.11
i also tried to change the mirror with the same result though...

i managed to download the civicrm-1.7.9379-joomla-php5.zip once but when i opened the zipfile
i got an unexpected end warning (file corrupded?)

is there any other place where i could download it?
(i would need the civicrm-1.7.9379-joomla-php4.zip just tried to download the one for php5 to see i could)
any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just downloaded both joomla zip files (php4 and php5) from SourceForge (using FireFox 2). They both downloaded completely and unzipped w/o errors. SourceForge is the only download source for CiviCRM - and we haven't had other reports of this problem. I  suspect this is some "local problem" on the computer/drive which you are downloading to (insufficient disk space / permissions or ??).

Hm...this is strange it's the first time I experienced that problem.
There are still 13, 6 GB of free disk space and as I said I never had this happen before
(same thing happened today when I tried again)
Would it be too much to ask you if you could send me the zip file (php4 for Joomla) via email?
I have to build the page next week and I don't have the time (or the knowledge how) to go "trouble hunting" on my local machine.

Thank you for your help and for the fast reply!

mini_mei: you might want to check whether other SourceForge.net downloads fail for you as well. I sent you the Joomla PHP 4 tarball by email.

Thank you!
I got your mail and tried to install it, i did have some problems though...but I'll post that in the Installations forum

and yes I tried to download another file (just picked a random one => this one to be exact) from SourceForge.net and had no problems whatsoever, download was ok and the file itself was ok too

...welcome to the zone where normal things don't happen...very often...
