Offline Module Bundle fails to import

Make sure you're on the latest stable or beta build

• I have tested this on the latest stable or beta release

Is this a bug in companion itself or a module?

• I believe this to be a bug in companion and not a specific module

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

I am in the process of setting up a Raspberry Pi with Companion Pi. I have the machine formatted with the OS, and it operates well.

I am trying to import the Offline Module Bundle, which I am having issue with. I have the correct version to match the version of Companion that is running on the Pi, but upon trying to install the offline module, the process always fails. Sometimes it gets as far as 50% progress but never higher, and then the machine appears to crash and the installation fails. I have tried downloading from a different browser but to no avail.

I am running companion v4.2.1, and the computer I’m using to download the files and login to the Pi is a MacBook Pro on MacOS 15.5.

Having spoken with some other users on the Facebook Group, I believe this to be a bug since Companion V4, but am not 100% sure on this.

Someone else had a similar issue, and for them it was because safari was extracting the bundle when downloading it, causing it to not be the correct format when it is imported (the archive is a tar.gz, so if you decompress the gz layer, it leaves behind the single file of the tar)
Could that be what you are seeing?

@Dylan-Barber any update on whether this was your issue?
