Chrome blocking release downloads

[sean-hill]

Chrome doesn't like it ...

[officert]

Are you downloading from the Github release page?

https://github.com/officert/mongotron/releases

[nodkz]

yep, download via this page https://github.com/officert/mongotron/releases
by this link https://github.com/officert/mongotron/releases/download/v1.0.0-alpha.2/Mongotron-darwin-x64.zip

[joebenson]

Same thing happens for me.

Chrome is blocking the download for https://github.com/officert/mongotron/releases/download/v1.0.0-alpha.2/Mongotron-darwin-x64.zip as nodkz displayed.

Same here. Do we know if there is a way to check with Google to see why they are listing it as a virus?

[officert]

I haven't had time to look into this yet. Are you guys not able to download the release at all? If so I could try hosting it somewhere else and see if that helps.

[AddoSolutions]

Not sure if that is the problem, I doubt Google would have a problem with GitHub.

It can be manually extracted by renaming the Unconfirmed.crdownload file to a .zipfile, but that makes me a bit nervous.

I agree with Addo. Can't download and use the release without the warning,
which is a bit nerve wrecking. Haven't installed to try / contribute
specifically because of this, to be honest.

To contribute you'll need to pull down the git repo which isn't affected by this.
Though I do understand the hesitation, I just tried downloading and got the error message and it is a bit worrisome. I'm going to look into this some more and try and get it resolved.
Would love the extra contributors, so please don't hesitate to jump in 👍

Just found this which could be related:

ran the darwin release through virus total for scanning for viruses:

Tim, yep I'm familiar with the fork and pull requests, etc. I'll be happy
to contribute once things slow down a bit at work, and Google is sure the
file is safe ;)

Thanks for starting a great project.
