Temporary download directory causing issues on partial downloads about tinynvidiaupdatechecker HOT 6 CLOSED

If the integrity check fails, it could clean itself up.
Then a user would just run it again, and there wouldn't be another switch to maintain.

Yes, if it behaved this way then I agree, no extra switch needed :)

Sorry for the extreme delay. Isn't this what --confirm-dl. I'll look into the %temp% directory used causing issues.

This is a weird issue since it checks if an existing file exists, if it does not match the size of the supposed driver file then it is deleted before downloading.
But I am going to change the code a bit so when it downloads, it will save as a .partial file format. This makes it easier to see a failed download, and if TNUC sees it then it is to be deleted. Most browsers do similar stuff.

3640d2e Improved the situation a bit but the code definitly needs a lot of love & rewriting. Many exceptions are not properly handled.

I've tested to replicate the issue you're having. After installation the file is cleaned up which is up for a debate if a dialog should pop up asking if you want to keep the driver files.

Worst case if it %temp%/ doesn't get cleaned up after installation then still at least the code now checks the driver file size, which shouldn't be incomplete anyways since it nows gets downloaded as a .part file until it's completed where it then gets renamed back and there's a file size check, too.

(The dialog file downloader does not have this new code.. yet)

I'll be closing this issue if it happens to you again then you'll have to reopen it.

This is what happens when there's existing files and minimal install is used, and quiet mode is on.
