(solved) download filefactory

hathor · 2019-02-25 10:53:50

When downloading something from filefactory or similar what happens is that when you complete the name of the file is changed when you complete it, but there is a problem of permissions between the browser and the system when executing that name change, if someone can do the test with a small file.

In debian testing it also happened to me.

Could you be more clear stating your problem? I'm not sure I understand the process you are using.

Could you give a link to a problem file for testing (or does it require a log-in?).

http://www.filefactory.com/file/3qrmb0q … ate.es.rar

This link is from a small file and it will not cost to make the test come to the end but it has not just been completed.

I downloaded the file (@ 50KB/s ) to my ~/Downloads, and renamed it without any problem.

I understand that English isn't your language, but I'm still not sure what your problem is. How is the browser involved in a name change?

^Me too ... the download has been slow as well, but all files have my permissions, and I can do whatever I want with them (rename, delete, move, edit ...).

@OP: how are you downloading the file? Did you by any chance (and mistake) start your browser as root? Are you doing it on Linux at all, or on MS Windows?

^Hm, good idea about this file.part

However, I tested it; the files during download and their permissions:

$ ls -Al
total 936
-rw-r--r-- 1 someusername someusername      0 Feb 25 14:53 Fix-it-up---Las-Aventuras-de-Kate.es.rar
-rw------- 1 someusername someusername 954463 Feb 25 14:54 Fix-it-up---Las-Aventuras-de-Kate.es.rar.part

I don't see any strange permissions here. Both files, rar.part and .rar are accessible by user (someusername = user who started firefox). And all extracted files have username:username permissions.

@OP: did you wait until file (*.rar) is fully downloaded?

the error happens to me with Chromium install Firefox and it seems to work. I have to try Chrome.

I have tried Chrome and ok, it seems that the problem is from the stable version of Chromium, in Xubuntu Chromiun works well.

In the end I discovered that it was, thanks to that you had commented about Firefox and the tests with the 3 browsers.
