Inline Hash Checking #94

Open ibrokemypie opened 8 years ago

ibrokemypie commented 8 years ago

Feature request for an option to input a hash (MD5 and SHA1 as examples) to a download either while running or when added, and for maxel to check the file at the end of the download against this, re downloading if the hash is different.

Similar functionality is in DownThemAll

as seen in dta: and a +1 from your original post on reddit :) https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1zwztc/wrote_myself_a_download_accelerator_looking_for/cfya3fb/

Is the existing hash functionality not sufficient? If you press CMD+I you can see an md5 or sha1 hash of the file.

ibrokemypie commented 7 years ago

With the current implementation there is no way to retry downloads that have had some problem, being able to input a hash before or during download means one could choose to have maxel redownload the file automatically on error

Hmm okay, I have some ideas on how to make that work. These sites that have checksums, are they available as checksum files or are they given as text?

text is generally more common, but many give .md5 files as well. examples being https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298915801 https://www.ubuntu.com/download/how-to-verify https://www.archlinux.org/download/ http://moodeaudio.org http://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php etc. most common are md5, sha1 and sha256, though the more supported the better the compatability as always, some sites use weird hashes for whatever reason. md5 and sha1 I would say are the two essential ones though
