update files rejected

[trevorfactor]

I got a report saying 2 update files were: FILE REJECTED because of !!! bad checksum!

Does anyone know what this means? I've never seen this before

Also I thought I'd bring some funny with me to this forum so check out (removed) he is really funny and had me lmao yesterday. Enjoy!

Hoping someone has the answers,
Trevor

A Bad Checksum indicates that the MD5 hash value of the downloaded file did not match the expected MD5 hash value of that file. In other words the file was not downloaded properly and the update was not completed.

Bad Checksums usually occur because the download of the update file timed out, although there can be other causes.
