SHA1 hashes from https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/ don't match downloaded files

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

I just tried pulling down 3 separate versions of Plex Media Server (two for Synology, and one for Windows), and for each one, the SHA1 hashes listed on the site don’t match the file hash of the downloaded file. Example:

On the site, Plex Media Server for Windows lists a SHA1 hash of:
9d51c56da7fe7f27be9771c7b520bb03485f593.
Upon downloading, multiple calculators actually show the SHA1 hash as:
b7a5cd2ae5ae178d7d9e91761028276c4b9fc582

Does anyone else see this issue? Are these hashes actually valid, or are there issues with the files being served?

You missed the first number of that hash. It should actually be 79d51c56da7fe7f27be9771c7b520bb03485f593.

That is the hash I get. Your downloads may not be completing correctly.

Thanks for verifying! I’ll try downloading from a few different machines and browsers for more comparisons when I’m back home. The download did install correctly it seemed. Just didn’t have a matching hash. Since I know it should be working, I’ll keep trying in my side.

Thanks!

If you have issues with PMS, you’ll know why.

I downloaded again from a different computer, and got the correct hash, so I think I’m all set now. @anon18523487 , thanks for your help in verifying! I went ahead and uninstalled the first version and re-installed the new one, and am back in business.

Thanks again…
