Starcatalog download doesn't work

[Max Lange]

On my Ubuntu 14.10 pc and with Stellarium 0.12.4 (German translation) the download for Starcatalogs is broken. When I click (translating) "Download catalog 5 of 9" the download starts normaly but at sometime simply stops (The progressbar dissapears, the catalog doesnt get loaded after restart and no error message). No matter how often I click the button. And sometimes it "downloads" the 17 MB in like 3 seconds and sometimes in a minute (would guess takes about 20 seconds to download 17MB normaly).

Best regards , Max.

I tried open Stellarium in terminal and there it reports an error: "Error: File "stars/default/stars_4_1v0_0.cat" is corrupt, MD5 mismatch! Found "f6ea13857634fd8381721303c81c4bea" expected "3abe460ce558418dbdab9a251c173cc4" "

This issue (after change settings of SF servers) was fixed in versions 0.12.5 and 0.13.1 (latest version is 0.13.2). Why you use outdated version?

I use 0.12.5 because its the latest official release for ubuntu? (at least i think it is because i downloaded it directly from softwarecenter)

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/+source/stellarium - Ubuntu 14.10 has version 0.13.0

Why you use Stellarium 0.12.4? You need use our packages for Ubuntu (https://code.launchpad.net/~stellarium/+recipe/stellarium-release-0-13-2) or ask maintainers of package to backport patches to version 0.12.4

Upstream fixed it already in new versions - 0.12.5 and 0.13.1.

The fix from Stellarium 0.13.1 is available in Vivid or later.
