[FIXED] VirtualBox 4.2.18 download for Windows is broken

[birdie]

This weighs just 22MB. Please, fix.

Download from here - the same file, a different name.

Just tested and I get 95MB. DL it again. Perhaps your DL was corrupt ot you jumped in and got it before it was finished uploading.

Looks like the entire Internet is corrupt for me:

Early bird catches the bug?

I think we're still uploading all the builds.

Judging from the file timestamp it was uploaded a long time ago, which is quite puzzling.

[birdie]

Your mirror 87.245.200.34 has a broken file.

Other mirrors, like 184.51.159.228 or 184.51.159.199 have a correct file.

Please fix the broken download. (The directory listing at http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.18/ shows a 95 MB file to be downloaded, but only 22 MB gets downloaded)

Use any available US proxies to solve this issue - it seems like Oracle's European mirrors are broken.

Yes. That trick did it.

[birdie]

The download is still broken. Guys!

[birdie]

Hey!

[Perryg]

Hey!

What is your problem?

You already say that you can get the install from another location. They will fix what ever is broken when they get back to work.

Hi,

Sorry if I'm going to sound just as grumpy as everyone else above, but is someone even doing something about this? It's now past CoB in Europe where the mirror is located and I'm still unable to download VirtualBox successfully. I guess I need to go to VMware or something instead.

Yes, but unfortunately it's not fast. We have very little control over the CDN.

If you can't wait a day for a maintenance release that probably doesn't do anything for you, please do!

Confirm.
Length: 22а642а688 (22M) [application/octet-stream]
Download is broken.
Length is incorrect.
Start of it after 22M download is invalid Win32 Application.
