Calibre X64 2.1 will not install - Page 2

BetterRed · 08-29-2014, 05:21 PM

Here you go, compare the checksums on your downloads with these, they're from the primary link on calibre download pages - I've installed 4 64-bit, and 3 32-bit Version 2.1 from these msi's - all working OK.

Beaten to the punch.

Hi @BR. Figured you would show up eventually.

Ran the hashes early this morning. No matter what I do, I can't download 2.1 64 bit.

On a related note, does anyone know who owns calibre-ebook.com and if it has a https variant?

hidden.platypus · 08-29-2014, 05:58 PM

@eschwartz: the OP states he's in Australia. I am not. Relatively sure we don't share the same ISP. Possible that our ISPs use the same practices/routines but. . . I doubt it.

Unless the attacker that's MITM-ing me (or my ISP) is very good I would have detected the attack. I polled a server outside of my ISP to check certificates of some of the sites I visit. I'm not being fed faulty information. Or if I am being fed faulty information, the attacker is being extremely selective.
Doesn't mean I'm not being middled, but if I am . . . you would think they would have a higher priority than calibre.
Wouldn't be a very good vector for anyone attacking me. I only use it to organize my ebook collection. I don't use it to download books. Calibre is almost never running. When it is, I'm using it to add a new e-book, or transfer one from Calibre to my e-reader. Far and away, the calibre-related executable that runs most often on my machine is the installer for whatever version update. I update randomly. Sometimes months go by before I do. So, to make a long story short, Calibre would make one of the worst possible vectors for an attack on me.

I installed/updated 4 other pieces of software today. Had no issues with any of them.

@hidden.platypus - I gotta eat & sleep sometime mate

I assume Kovid owns calibre-ebook.com, I've not seen an https variant.

I download via a standalone download manager - Free Download Manager. To initiate the download I have it hooked into Firefox via the Flashgot gadget .

When you had a similar problem a few months ago how was it resolved? I just read the thread - it seemed inconclusive. I have a vague memory that when I downloaded 1.37 from FOSSHub I got something that had a file name of 1.37 but the revision numbers, czechsums and calibre version numbers were all 1.36.

Added : for good measure I'll add the revision numbers to my previous post.

BR

hidden.platypus · 08-29-2014, 06:17 PM

@BR: Nothing ventured; nothing gained. Configured Firefox the way you suggested. Downloading again now.

Yep, fair to think that Kovid owns calibre-ebook.com

.

The https site does exist. You will get an untrusted certificate error, as Kovid seems to have assigned himself his certificate, but it exists and will encrypt your traffic.

I doubt it is a MITM, ISPs have been known to do it as have businesses. All the time.

It would be a transparent proxy, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_s...nsparent_proxy

Using HTTPS should be enough to get around it -- if that is indeed the problem.

hidden.platypus · 08-29-2014, 06:35 PM

Well I got a different file.

The MD5 hash for this file is ae153a3d92758d0def78987b276537c0.

It gives me an error on install though. Perhaps related to me enabling the bittorrent protocol on the downloader. Trying again without it.

Error is:
The cabinet file "calibre.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

I wasn't aware in any way, shape or form that a bit torrent option was available for calibre downloads....

hidden.platypus · 08-29-2014, 06:43 PM

@gbm: Thanks for the suggestion, but that's for the 32 bit installer. The 32 bit installer works fine. What I can't get installed properly is the 64-bit version.

@petert please ignore that. I was following a suggestion from one of the other posters. He told me the setup he uses to download (and organize) things. I configured my browser the same way hoping to get similar results.

So it is the download configuration that supports a bittorent protocol download. Not calibre or kovid. Please don't try downloading calibre from any torrent sites.

Download.calibre-ebook.com does not have an HTTPS site.

Try using an internet proxy to evade potential ISP caching, or use CTRL+SHIFT+R to force reload the cache (apparently it works with some caching proxies too?).

Something, somewhere, seems to be caching the old version. Either your browser or your computer or your network, and based on your test on your phone, it appears to be the network.

Good thinking though. Don't have any Macs in the house or I would try that too.

Given that, I doubt a Mac would work either.
