Title: Download Tor Bundle Update
Post by: iLegalBusinessConsultant on March 02, 2013, 08:01 pm
For two days straight, upon logging into Tor, I've been asked to download an upgrade to the TOR bundle from this page https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html
version Version 2.3.25-4 - Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP. I click download and it starts creating the file during the download. But after the download is comlete, the file disappears from my computer and therefore  I cannot upgrade the browser.

Anyone else experience this?

Anyone thinks this is fishy?

Check your download location, maybe it downloads the temp files and moves the completed file to another loc.

I could never even find the upgrade. I'm on a mac however. My fix was to uninstall everything and reinstall the new stuff.

It goes to your download folder.  If you look at the bottom left of your screen you can see it while it's downloading.  If you click on that while it's there you can choose for it to open automatically once downloaded.  If you don't catch it there you can find it in the download folder.

I checked the download folder and it's not there. I checked the folder that I specifically saved it to, and it's not there. Funny thing is in the download manager, usually after you download a file, you can see it in the download manager and click on it directly to open it. I can see the file during the download process, but after the download is complete, the file disappears from the download manager and obviously I cannot click on a missing file.

I think uninstall and reinstall is the only option.

thanks for the feedback guys. I wanted to see if anyone else was running into the same problem.

I have, its a pain! I'm also on a Mac. Windows, though... hm

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work. If you have that problem in the Download Manager window then reset the browser.download.manager.retention pref to 2 on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
