We just added an autoupdater in our software and got some bug report saying that the autoupdate wouldn’t complete properly because the downloaded file’s sha1 checksum wasn’t matching. We’re hosted on Amazon S3…
That’s either something wrong with my code or something wrong with S3.
I reread my code for suspicious stuff and wrote a simple script downloading and checking the checksum of the downloaded file, and indeed got a few errors once in while (1 out of 40 yesterday). Today it seems okay.
Did you experience that kind of problem? Is there some kind of workaround ?
extra info: test were ran in Japan.
Other than the downtime a few weeks ago. None that I heard of.
They did a good job considering the one time it was down was because of an obscure server error that cascaded throughout the cloud. They was very open about it and resolve it as soon as they found out.(it happened during a weekend, iirc)
So they are pretty reliable. My advice is double check your code. And bring it up to amazon support if it is still a problem.
