What happened?

Searched for this without any other findings, very similar to Issue #516
Except I didn't want to jump on that one as it was specific to MacOS, where I am on Fedora 42 (KDE)

Version: Linux x64 Release Version: https://github.com/exislow/tidal-dl-ng/releases/tag/v0.26.6

If I set config to Hi-Res Lossless, Extract from FLAC is disabled, using GUI

Sample of the log file in the GUI, where it first downloaded a LOSSLESS file fine, and then the next file was a HI-RES LOSSLESS, and for that single file it adds a big string of something went wrong lines, before moving onto the next file in queue.

For my listening equipment, I'm not hell bent on having HI-RES LOSSLESS vs just CD Quality LOSSLESS, but wanted to submit the issue given HI-RES is an option that should work.

Cannot help you, if I cannot re-produce this issue. Please provide links to the tracks in question or close this issue. Thanks.

Thanks, missed adding the specific song links, here are a few I tried with the same results:

This is weird: I cannot re-produce this on my macOS 15.6. Tried all three links. I will try to fire up a Linux. Maybe it is just Linux related.

It seems to be, I had a spare machine with Windows 11, and the Windows client also has no problem with those songs, or any of the others that Linux was tossing up.

Have you ever tried to re-produce this on another Linux, like Ubuntu or something? Or even on your Fedora client right now? Maybe it was a temporary network issue or something.

On Ubuntu Linux 24.04.3 LTS 40 occurrances over a longer test period.

Pattern:
2025-09-29 20:38:45 > Downloaded item 'Artist - Album name'.
2025-09-29 20:38:46 > �[32mNext download will start in 3.6 seconds.�[0m
2025-09-29 20:38:47 > Downloaded item 'Artist - Album name'.
2025-09-29 20:38:48 > �[32mNext download will start in 4.6 seconds.�[0m
2025-09-29 20:38:49 > Downloaded item 'Artist - Album name'.
2025-09-29 20:38:50 > �[32mNext download will start in 4.2 seconds.�[0m
2025-09-29 20:44:11 > �[31mSomething went wrong while downloading. File is corrupt!�[0m
2025-09-29 20:44:11 > �[32mNext download will start in 4.3 seconds.�[0m
2025-09-29 20:44:15 > Finished list 'Album Name'.
2025-09-29 20:44:32 > Downloaded item 'Artist - Album name'.
2025-09-29 20:44:33 > �[32mNext download will start in 4.2 seconds.�[0m

In most of the cases but not always it preceds the Finished list message.

Potential fix idea: checksum/size validation with safe re-try to a temp filename then atomic move; add a more specific reason in the UI.
