Just wondering if anyone else had run into this.

Yes, I did. The solution at the time was to disable git compression, hence my reply.

Hey!

Many thanks to both of you for your feedback!

In the end, it was the Raspberry Pi Imager tool that got the job done - excellent!

Unfortunately, the weekly builds link didn't work for me, the same problem continued. I also, out of curiosity, tried Firefox (as was trying Safari and Chrome) and pressed the resume function every time the download failed along the way - that method completed the download.

Anyway, thanks again for your help re the Raspberry Pi Imager help! :)

@trust4068 Yes, it's an image that you can flash and it's installed.

Not that I see one (right now). Works fine here.

It seems to download fine for me. We've had a few complaints over time with similar symptoms, it's usually something ISP related. Try downloading from another location or try a torrent download.

Out of our control. [Edit - Missed the post above]

I'll also add that it's against the forum rules to ask where to get roms or discuss romsites. That includes retropie images that include ROMs.

@MajorDangerNine I've not checked but I suspect you renamed important page(s), breaking any links to them from other pages and the navigation on our docs (and generation of). Would be wise to check before making changes like this.

Renaming pages is a bad idea in general since it breaks links to them.

Well it finally worked after trying all day long. Anybody have any ideas what the hell was going on?

Connecting directly worked,
thank you!

@john0007 said in SD card use. Download retropie:

@dankcushions thanks. So can someone help me how can I download the retropie. It's giving me problems on network error and corrupted when download.

What error(s) did it give you exactly? What browser or other software did you do the download with?

IT WORKed on a download manager

@adje Please post the complete error message from wget.

@cdm624 @vinni230 If you have access to a Linux system with Internet access, e.g. another Retropie, you could use wget to download the file.

wget https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releases/download/4.3/retropie-4.3-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz

wget should report any problems it encounters. You could post them here in a codeblock for further inspection.

However, I suspect provider issues as well. I can download the file without problems.

@joykill06 Please give details about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Answer the questions there, then describe what package you're trying to install and the exact error you're receiving.

I've tried to find a torrent but none are active.

Have you tried this one specifically? I'm getting a little over 3.5 MB/s from only four seeders, so it seems to be pretty solid.

Edit: In the interest of being fully transparent, the magnet link originates here.

I'd use those torrents.

@uncledisgusting

Comcast could be performing network management techniques, such as network traffic shaping or even sending out RST packets.

I'd have to perform a network packet inspection using Wireshark and then contact Comcast Technical Support and AWS to see if they can determine the reason's why a download from s3.amazonaws.com would eventually fail.

But, I did use a VPN service and didn't have any issues downloading it.
