Community Edition 2018.2.1 Linux download is broken

Answered

Hi there,

I thought I'd try out IntelliJ IDEA community edition for a spot of quick Java coding, but the SHA checksum doesn't match up with the one provided following the download, and the file fails to extract:

 

$ sha256sum ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz
f054b08987e8e711e3a1714508015fb74febacf42d2729d52d2af72ae8d55725 ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz

(compare with:  https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz.sha256)

$ tar xfz ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

 

I don't think I'm doing anything daft, but happy to be set straight.  In the meantime I'll probably look elsewhere, not sure I can be bothered to build from source...

Cheers,

Dan

Thanks for the quick response Serge. Downloading with wget as you have done works for me too now, but from Chrome & Firefox it fails every time.  The downloaded file size is the same by both methods, but they are different. 

$ diff ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz_FAIL 
Binary files ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz and ideaIC-2018.2.1.tar.gz_FAIL differ

I'm up and running now, but it might be worth keeping this in mind if anyone else reports the same problem.

Cheers,

Dan
