SUMMARY When software is downloaded on the Internet, there is always the possibility that it will become corrupted during transfer. This article explains how you can detect if your downloaded Audium software has been corrupted. SYMPTOMS During installation, administrator may see errors which refer to "incorrect magic numbers". Installation may fail to start, and/or your operating system may complain that the installer is not a valid executable. RESOLUTION By checking the md5sum of the file(s) you have downloaded, you can determine whether or not they have been corrupted during transfer. We always include the md5sum of our downloadable software; here is an example md5sum for one of our installers: 84816db3d8afa466d8d7e6a25437c326 By comparing your local copy's md5sum value to the value posted on the download page, you can check for problems. A small problem in a download will generally result in a radically different md5sum, which indicates that the download has been corrupted. If you have a corrupt download, try downloading it again (possibly on another machine). On most *nix operating systems, there is an "md5sum" command which will provide the md5sum value of a given file. However, on Windows you need to download a 3rd-party utility. Here are links to some simple utilies you may find helpful:
NOTE: Audium has neither tested, nor endorses any of these utilities. Please read any applicable licenses and use these utilities at your own risk. |
