(samsung-magician) Wrong checksum for version 6.1.0 about chocolatey-packages HOT 6 CLOSED

Ok, it's 55kB but I guess the point still stands. Thank you! Will have to wait then I guess...

from chocolatey-packages.

Is the package using the correct URL? I couldn't find the link http://ssd.samsungsemi.com/ecomobile/ssd/update8.do?fname=/Samsung_Magician_Installer.zip when I navigated to the download page https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ manually.

Instead, the download page gave a link with an AWS domain (possible geo-located?). I replaced the AWS domain with www.samsung.com and it worked fine. I have been monitoring the following URL for 2 weeks now and it is still active:
https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/global.semi.static/SAMSUNG_SSD_v6_1_0_200310/SW/675B9E5CD0C5F99B41D766B27C8E0055C3909ECE3AA2FB6B74A2A1EAC1BAC402/Samsung_Magician_Installer.zip

I think you are hitting their rate limiting mechanism.

See: https://chocolatey.org/packages/samsung-magician#comment-4877039863

If you check the downloaded file, it will probably a couple of bytes.

I can't fix this as I am not allowed to embed the software.

Hi all,
I found the same issue, this time with version 6.3.0. The URL used by the Chocolatey package resolves to an error. In the Samsung site, https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/, the current URL uses an Azure URL, https://p6wrew7f.azureedge.net/magician/202102/20210209_Magician_6.3_r26c7b0eafa6.zip/REAL/Samsung_Magician_Installer_Official_6.3.0.300.zip

I think Samsung has changed the URL, would this need to be addressed in a future update for this package?

The issue has been going on for quite a while now. It looks like the maintainer has given up or is too busy.

Nope, I can't fix the policy of Samsung.

Also you are reporting on a closed issue.

Please open a new issue.
