Apparently, I found a solution for the download issue leading to the checksum verification failure.

The cause for downloading not the real tarball is that freefilesync.org sometimes does not redirect to the actual location of the tar.gz file, but instead back to the general download page. Since this page is not the intended file, checksum verification fails.

The solution is to request the file using the proper Referer header (as in a normal browser session). I updated the curl command accordingly, and it seems to finally solve the problem.

Evidently the URL used so far has been removed. Therefore I changed it back to the suggested URL which had already been used before.

The url currently used to build is not valid :

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

Using following url in the PKGBUILD fixes the error for me:

source=( "${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::=https://freefilesync.org/download/FreeFileSync_${pkgver}_Linux.tar.gz" FreeFileSync.desktop FreeFileSync.png RealTimeSync.desktop RealTimeSync.png )

I gave up on this program. I don't want to install this program manually, kind of defeats the purpose of AUR. There is a flatpak available but it is an old version 9.8. My suggestion, find a new hosting solution that works.

Seems to be the same download issue which has already been discussed earlier. Have you tried multiple times?

I get this problem

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
   freefilesync-bin-10.7.tar.gz ... FAILED

Probably, because while downloading this file, something is wrong:

:: Content of /tmp/trizen-u0/freefilesync-bin/freefilesync-bin-10.7.tar.gz

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

                </div>
        </footer>

<script src="/base.js"></script>

=>> Edit freefilesync-bin-10.7.tar.gz? [y/N]:

Seems like HTML is downloaded instead of the file.

For me it's working. What exactly is the problem? File not found? Or checksum error? Have you tried multiple times?

"https://freefilesync.org/download/FreeFileSync_10.7_Linux.tar.gz"  # Works
But: "${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://freefilesync.org/download_redirect.php?file=FreeFileSync_${pkgver}_Linux.tar.gz"  # Fail

Thanks for the tip. Along with the update to version 10.7, I changed the source URL into the one you proposed.
