Hi, I am also facing corruption issues. My product is ANXCamera. Recently this file had gone corrupt  
[https://www.pling.com/p/1321115/startdownload?file\_id=1567696510&file\_name=ANXCameraUnity\_140.GeneralLegitimateBullmastiff.zip&file\_type=application/zip&file\_size=257268161](https://www.pling.com/p/1321115/startdownload?file_id=1567696510&file_name=ANXCameraUnity_140.GeneralLegitimateBullmastiff.zip&file_type=application/zip&file_size=257268161)

Thanks aeonax!

We are building a new upload mechanism right now, which will calculate and show the md5sum automatically for each uploaded file, so its easy then to compare if upload went well right away.

We also can then add a button to “recheck” md5sum on the server to make sure it hasnt changed for whatever reason when people experience problems.

Will probably be ready next week.

We have updated our servers, plus added a md5 checksum field in the file upload dialog when adding/editing a product.

We will also add md5sum information for the user on the product page next.

Hi community,

I had difficulties to update my product this morning. Uploading archives in .tar.xz format give me an error when I try to extract it in return. So I re-upload it in .zip format and it worked.

Kind Regards 🙂

Hi bolimage,

did you compare local md5sums before and after download with md5sum on the server?
