Overview: The installer fails to download dmd.2.057.zip and doesn't notify the user. Steps to Reproduce: Uninstall dmd and try to reinstall it using Windows installer from this page: http://d-programming-language.org/download.html

It works correctly when I try it. What are the symptoms you see?

dmd.2.057.zip download finishes very soon and there is no dmd2 folder after installation. Tried it on two computers with Windows XP. If I download dmd2 manually everything works fine.

Do you still experience this with 2.060+?

I think it could have just been temporary server problems, but the real issue might be that the installer doesn't notify the user of a failed download? If someone knows NSIS you can hack on it here: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/tree/master/windows

DMD2 install works fine with 2.061, but now curl fails to download. Generally, all the archives from http://ftp.digitalmars.com/ are downloaded correctly and those from https://github.com/downloads/D-Programming-Language/dmd/ are not. All the links work fine when used outside of installer. Another thing with urls: Empire 2.01 source and DMD2 compatible cURL 7.24.0 on the download page lead to 404 pages.

We no longer uses Github downloads.
