KDE Installer issues (Re: hi, KDE Install success, wrote down some stuff)

[S Page]

I ran into the corrupt download problem Mr. Aceler mentioned: the 
installer doesn't report a downloaded file is corrupted (although it 
logs "Warning:Can not open download/path/package.zip" in 
kdewin-installer.log), and will reuse the local corrupted file next time 
you try to install.

So I deleted my incomplete 58MB kdebase-msvc-3.95-1-bin.zip file and 
re-ran.  The installer completed successfully, but again the zip file 
was incomplete (only 26,821,288 bytes).

According to Process Monitor, the installer had no errors writing out 
the downloaded file.  I couldn't get Process Monitor to show the network 
requests; it seemed like a separate thread exited and the main thread 
wrote out the last 10,220 bytes of the file.

I'm noting these issues at

, corrections and additions welcome.
