fix #86 (comment)
Problem Description
When downloading and saving a file, running the tar command to extract it occasionally fails with the following errors:
Cause Analysis
Python’s file I/O uses a buffered mechanism, meaning
f.write()
may temporarily store data in memory without immediately writing it to the filesystem.If
tar
attempts to extract the file before the data is fully written, it may read an incomplete or corrupted file, causing the extraction to fail.The issue is more likely to occur in high-load environments or with delayed disk I/O.
Solution
Add
f.flush()
immediately afterf.write()
to ensure the file buffer is flushed to the operating system before invoking the tar command. This guarantees the file is fully written and ready for further operations.
