My PC suffered a power outage mid-download, now Kiwix freezes forever #1383
Description
Linux pc 6.15.2-artix1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 11 Jun 2025 07:37:25 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Events:
- Installed Kiwix via Flatpak.
- Clicked on "download" on many datasets.
- Suffer a power outage during file download (please don't get corrupted, please...).
- Drive needs to be error-checked in Windows (the drive is an external NTFS drive).
- Boot up Linux again.
- Start Kiwix only to have it freeze.
Q1: Any ideas to force Kiwix to not freeze?
Q2: Is there any hope for my "currently downloading, but got interrupted by power outage" files to be okay and not corrupted?
Q3: If my files are not corrupted, only cut off at some point in the binary representation, is it possible for Kiwix to resume download from that cut-off point?
Thanks!
