Description of problem: If multiple progresses try to write a downloaded file to same location, grinder probably is not handling the write collisions correctly causing checksum mismatch. This however is self-corrected on its own when checksum validation happens. We probably need to put in a lock around the writefunction callback. curl might already have a built in opt we might use.
This bug probably explains the error messages like this in the grinder log: grinder.log.3:45037:2011-09-14 02:58:43,094 11105:140718217619200: grinder.BaseFetch:ERROR: activeobject:171 python-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64.rpm size mismatch, read: 10086936 bytes, was expecting 5043468 bytes Notice how the read size is exactly twice what the expected size is. Eventually, we end up in a good state because of the download retries, so that's good.
fixed! commit 493f87bc20609a1a1b83d56b25d69295f3fd14ad
