21/01/1970 - date on latest Pycharm download - some problem here ?
I've just downloaded Pycharm and Webstorm (between GMT 00:30 and 1:30 on the 11th) and the internal dates all appear to be 21/01/1970 - surely some mistake ?
this is pycharm-professional-2024.3.2 and WebStorm-2024.3.2.1 as the tar.gz files.
The Webstorm unpacked seemingly correctly but I haven't gone any further.
Any comments ?

HI Graham
Thank you for reaching out
The timestamps indeed show incorrectly when opening the tar file.
You can ignore the wrong timestamps in this case and proceed with the installation
This is a known case and we have an open youtrack case which you can follow/upvote:

Please let me know if any further questions regarding this.
Kind regards,
Thanks for the reply.
It does seem to have been around for a while…I have a Datagrip installation from 2023 that has the same ‘feature’
But why the 20th ? I'd understand it more if it had been time 0 or 1…

Hi Graham
It seems this timestamp is the developer's fixed timestamp choice for the builds as explained in a comment below:
In any case this is being reviewed and will have to be changed as per the related youtrack case because this can cause confusion.
Kind regards,
