Hi to everyone and thanks in advance for your attempts to help me! 😀
I'm trying to download the latest version but the executable (DOSBox0.73-win32-installer) results always corrupted (NSIS error: "The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete...") even if I use another mirror but the previous version installer (0.72) works perfectly.
Seems very strange, isn't it? 😕

Just tried, Sourceforge picked this one http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dosbox … 2-installer.exe and it's corrupted. Someone should try to check all mirrors.

Edit:
Google search turned up other people complaining about that garr mirror and corrupted files on it.

Tried 5/6 different mirrors but nothing was changed... 😒

So, seems to be a common problem! 😐

Looks like Sourceforge is broken, whatever mirror I pick, it downloads from garr mirror. Can anybody else try?

Edit:
With link provided by Sourceforge when picking different mirror it doesn't use that mirror and instead downloads from garr:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/ … earch%20Network

But if I change link to:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/ … ?use_mirror=dfn

It proprely uses selected mirror and downloads from:

http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dosbox/ … 2-installer.exe

This one works.

It works perfectly fine for me using Opera 9.64. I chose a server from France and the download was correct.

Is firefox also failing on Sourceforge?. That's strange. Have you tried forcing DOC_Check_Frequency to always = 1 (default = 3 {when document expires})

You must enter that value from about:config

Tried SeaMonkey 1.1.17 and IE 8 from different mirrors. It works fine on both of them too, even if IE 8 was complaining about errors on the page. this time, I chose two different mirrors in Switzerland.

PS - Forgot to say I am using Proxomitron, but I doubt that's an issue.

I changed frequency to 1 and it still doesn't download from selected mirror unless I manually change the link and remove mirror name after ,
Really strange.

Edit:
It works even when I pick mirror and remove "?use_mirror=" part of the new link. Then it downloads from selected mirror.

I am getting quite a few emails about it and I've filed a report at the sourceforge website about it.

Greetings,

I've logged into garr, dfn & our origin server for small sample. The
md5sum for DOSBox0.73-win32-installer.exe is the same for all the
machines.

If someone experiences an invalid checksum again, they not only log a
ticket; during business hours, they can hop on IRC and have us check right
then for invalid checksums right away. Our
[http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ … port%20by%20IRC
Support by IRC] has the details on using the IRC
[http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sourceforge webclient]

We will continue to look into the download redirect issue added onto the
md5sum ticket.

Thank you,
