The hash value is the same whether it's downloaded directly from the browser or HTTP Downloader. The reason you're getting an error when opening the file is that it's not a zip file. It's actually a rar file. The site's distribution backend is what's messing up. If you change the extension to .rar, then it should open/extract without complaining. If you use a program like 7-Zip, then it'll extract it as is without complaining either.

@erickutcher you are right sry, i assumed its the same bug as the one i had a long time ago just because of the unknown file size brave_bTkcUBCE7D i did find the website with the actual bug though but i dont know if i want to share it cuz its nsfw and i dont even visit it anymore your app is amazing bro, its just that some websites are not well made ;P
