Every nightly for the last week or so is producing malware warnings using Chrome - from my understanding it goes by a list of known distributors (in part) which means one of the mirrors is ....
On another note - are the nightly builds no longer being pushed to Oxford?
As far as I can tell, this hits any compressed, unsigned executable that hasn't been downloaded already thousands of times from a non-ssl connection. Doesn't really matter what it is.
Google is basically being idiotic.
I can download any of the win32 builds from the last few days from the mirrors - it's downloading from the .au mirror, and this is on Chrome on a Mac which perhaps doesn't have this 'feature' ?
That makes sense, I was aware that it attempts to filter out uncommon unsigned executables, but it never used to happen. Guess a Chrome update.
But when I download from one of the UK mirrors it's generally not an issue - also I'm not sure what's happened over the last six months but it takes a good 4-5 minutes to download a nightly, appearing to select mirrors on the other side of the world.
PM me the ip you are using and the mirrors it selects for you and I will have a look. Might be an issue with GeoIP.
Mirror selection system has been improved - there was a slight issue with the usage of the GeoIP database.
It will never be 100% correct but tests with some people in chat show it to now be more correct than before the changes I made.
Feel free to check for yourself.
