technoJesus Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hello, I've got a test environment that isn't working for me and I was hoping to get some insight as to why. Current file version is 7.4.8 Here are my settings So here's what happens: When I simply "Update" through Ketarin, a new file is not downloaded/saved even though I see the progress bar progress. However, if I "Force Download", or if I delete the original file, then Ketarin successfully retrieves the updated file. What am I doing wrong?

shawn Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 What's the content of the URL variable? JRT recently switched ownership to MalwareBytes, so there's a good chance that it's just an archival URL problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoJesus Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 What's the content of the URL variable? JRT recently switched ownership to MalwareBytes, so there's a good chance that it's just an archival URL problem. The URL is valid, because as I've mentioned - if I delete the local file a new file will successfully download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 That may be the case, but without actually testing the URL variable myself, I can't investigate to see what the problem might be. I can theorize all day, but "guess" in one hand, you know? The options in your settings above are correct, which means that the problem is actually with the download itself. If the file at the URL is returning the same size and/or timestamp that it was between versions then it's not really a different file and will *not* be downloaded. You could, of course, actually run the file to ensure it really is the file version you think it is, but the version that's represented in the first image is obviously NOT the current release from the {Version} variable, which means you're downloading the wrong version. Or, simply, the URL is wrong. This isn't a Ketarin issue, but a source issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoJesus Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Fine point, sorry for the trouble. Here's a screenshot of my URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 If you check the files referenced by 131 ("authors site") and 293 (bleeping computer), the timestamp and size on them is different. Use the author's site download to get the most current version. Look at the bleeping computer app profile page and it says it was "last updated" on Aug 19th, yet the file on MBAM is dated Aug 21st and the file on BP is dated Aug 18th. Even better is that the URL from MBAM uses their static structure, which means it won't be cache-blocked or changed over time. You can use the direct link and it'll always get the current version.
