Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1321

Describe the bug

If you download the assets for a large live image (e.g., current Kali or Debian 12 Cinnamon) only the first part of the filesystem.squashfs is downloaded, the .part2 with the rest of the image is not.

This causes running the image from a locally downloaded copy to fail, whereas it works if you download from github.com each time.

To Reproduce

Download the assets for Debian 12 Live Cinnamon. Observe that the filesystem.squashfs is 2.0GB in size. Observe that the release contains an additional asset of 700MB which has not been downloaded.

Expected behavior

All assets should be downloaded.

Additional context

It looks like this happened in the past when the assets moved from one server to another, see #1068. That variant of the problem was apparently fixed in web UI 0.6.6. I am using the current Docker container 0.6.9, however, so it looks like it has "come back" in some sense.

As with #1068, though, if I manually download the .part2 asset and place it alongside the other one, and set its ownership and permissions appropriately, I can boot from it correctly.

Think I found the issue, I think I broke this when I was switching it to the fetch library. This should fix the part2 downloads.

github.com/netbootxyz/webapp@64ded80728

I'll look at getting it released soon.

Confirming that the Debian 12 Live Cinnamon case works for me with the latest container. Thank you!
