Using the source URL <https://freefilesync.org/download_redirect.php?file=FreeFileSync_>${pkgver}_Linux.tar.gz in PKGBUILD may solve the incomplete tar.gz download issue. (I used to maintain the freefilesync AUR package for a bit and noticed the slightly different source URL.)

Indeed the checksum changed. I have updated the package. Apparently the binaries have been modified slightly, even though it is the same version number.

Wrong checksum for freefilesync-bin-10.6.tar.gz. The right one is :

         b4ee79bce386dd00c39b089a43f305d5941a1eef92a1e175428e760e188086c0

Very strange, sometimes, as adready noticed, freefilesync.org does not correctly deliver source files. So, I downloaded 

 <https://freefilesync.org/download/FreeFileSync_10.6_Linux.tar.gz>

5 times. Each time, I got the same checksum as above. So, I hope it is the correct one.

My pleasure. I'm glad that it's useful for you.

re-downloaded and now working 100%

Thanks for super-quick fix

Sometimes freefilesync.org delivers only an incomplete tar.gz file which leads to the checksum verification failure. The only solution I can see is to try again.

Thanks for the quick response.

There now seems to be an issue with the checksum of the freefilesync-bin-10.6.tar.gz source file - so haven't been able to install and verify

I modified the desktop files and made the execution paths absolute as you did. Now it should work.

Thanks for the response, but the desktop files don't seem to work for me.

I have the two desktop files in /usr/share/applications (FreeFileSync.desktop and RealTimeSync.desktop) as expected but neither work (on Arch Linux with GNOME).

If I manually edit e.g. the FreeFileSync.desktop file and change the Exec key to '/opt/freefilesync/FreeFileSync %f' then it works
