[Bug 412413] Re: zsync cannot download DVD image

[Wolfgang Kufner]

I have just replicated this bug successfully on intrepid:

$ uname -m

$ apt-cache policy zsync

zsync works by writing an output file of final size at the beginning, and it does not seem to plan to get the whole DVD here:
$ls -n

-rw------- 1 1001 1001 2083430400 2009-10-16 08:50 karmic-dvd-amd64.iso.part


it aborts:

Aborting, download available in karmic-dvd-amd64.iso.part
verifying download...


zsync is no longer running. Never telling the result of "verifying download..."
let's see what we have now:
$ls -n
total 2812628
-rwx------ 1 1001 1001  729829376 2009-10-15 10:30 karmic-desktop-amd64.iso
-rw------- 1 1001 1001 2147483647 2009-10-16 08:54 karmic-dvd-amd64.iso.part


that is longer than the initial output file and the exact length described in
bug 412413.
Just to make sure the file should be longer:
$ wget --spider http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/karmic-dvd-amd64.iso
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.
