Bugzilla – Bug 9890
SqueezeCenter downloads too often when it fails a sha1sum check...
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:14:23 UTC
Right now when SC downloads a jive*.bin and it fails its sha1sum, SC waits 10 minutes and downloads again. In the case where we upload a bad SHA file, it causes thousands of users to start constantly downloading the file over and over again. This behavior should change. I propose that SC should re-try the download 3 times in a 60 minute period. If those 3 fail, it should delay the next check for 24 hours. This limits the max downloads to 4 in a 24 hour period (one initial try, three retries).
Already fixed this morning. Will back off x2 up to a max of 1 day.
This bug has been fixed in the 7.3.0 release version of SqueezeCenter! Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already. If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
