Update problem

[MKG]

I'm on Ubuntu 13.04. I've been using TDM for some time now, so I obviously have the full 1.08 installation already. Now I want to update to 2.00. I run the updater and I end up with a file in my darkmod directory called "_tdm_update_1.08_to_2.00.zip". All well and good. However, when I try to extract the zip file, I get the message "An error occurred while loading the archive". I've run the update routine several times now, and always end up with the same result. Out of desperation, I tried renaming the file to "tdm_update_1.08_to_2.00.zip" (by deleting the underscore at the start of the name) - but to no avail. I get the same error message.

 

I'm sure it's me - I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot work out what it is.

 

Help, please. Any ideas?

It's possible that some of the mirrors contain a bogus file. Can you delete this file and run the updater again? Please make note of the mirror it's getting the file from, so that I can have a look at it if it's still causing trouble.

Hi Greebo,

 

I did as you asked and got exactly the same result. The mirror that was picked was waffles.za.net.

I've done what you asked twice over, unfortunately with the same results. The second mirror picked was thegreatesttunnelhostontheinter.net.

 

Doesn't look good for my end!

 

And a third - this time dl1.worldofplayers.de:8080. Still no luck.

I just checked the thegreatesttunnelhostontheinter.net mirror and the file there is correct, it should be around 208 MB. You can try to download that file using a browser and place it next to the tdm_update application, it should pick it up right away.

Problem solved - thanks, Greebo, it's now downloading with no problem.

 

All the others stopped at 14k for some strange reason.
