Description
I have here some examples of the incomplete extension packs. Somehow the download was ok, but the sizes are definitely too small. Probably the checksum test would also fail.
Extension Pack is just a ZIP archive; if you rename it, you can see and test the contents. But in the case of installation, it looks like there is no test. VBox tries to unpack the archive but fails. There is no reaction for this; therefore, the whole UI hangs and can only be removed through the task manager.
It would be nice to check the integrity of the pack before the installation and give the message in case the archive isn't complete.
