Elite dangerous launcher unable to validate game files… Keeps writing zero length files… stuck in "Sync Files" mode.
Check logs.. 4 files with issues like this

Check files with hex editor.. filled with zeroes… strange
Download one of the files using the URL in the logs using a browser.. looks fine… run SHA1 on it.. matches the SHA1 in the log…. but the one in the Elite Directory is wrong
Give up on launcher.
Write program to parse log and download the files from server and overwrite the ones in the elite directory
Re-run validation.. now works.. no issues.
