syntaxerror Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 i've been having problems trying to download php-5.2.5.tar.gz is there something going on with this release... i've been able to download the recent mysql tar.gz release... so i'm sure it's not a download restriction problem, since it's the same file format and an even larger file at that... aside from the php site, the only other site i've seen hosting the download is sunfreeware.com... the browser kept spitting virus detected, and deleted whenever the download did try to proceed Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81593-problems-downloading-source-ball-for-php-525/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm not sure if there is an issue, or what it might be but, you can get your source from any of the Gentoo mirrors. Just have a look in the distfiles directory for the version you need.

syntaxerror Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 ok here's what i get violation of compressed file restriction - does this indicate a restriction from our server? curiously, i can still download the mysql tar.gz which is about 60 Mb as opposed to php being less than 10 mb i've had a friend download it for me, he zipped it into rar format and mailed to me... but still i can't access / download the deformed file...??? it was renamed double2x.rar Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81593-problems-downloading-source-ball-for-php-525/#findComment-414406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thats all sounding a bit strange. I'm only on dialup where I am at the moment so I can't try it for myself but I can't see there would be an issue with it.

zq29 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just downloaded and extracted it perfectly fine. Maybe try a different download mirror?

syntaxerror Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 thanks everyone, it's nice to know that there is no problem with the tarball, i was forced to have a friend download it for me on a non too secure network... sorry for the trouble, i just had to be sure there's nothing wrong with the file itself Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81593-problems-downloading-source-ball-for-php-525/#findComment-416593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
