    Everytime i try to download a big file, winRAR/WinZip always says its corrupt and never lets me extract anymore :blah: . I reformatted today because of this problem, thinking it may be caused with a fragged hard drive or something. This is not the case so i downloaded the same file i was trying to download before, (l2.c3.installer) and its corrupt and even the c2 one is corrupt :confused: .

    Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? I doubt the files are corrupt cause there from the offical website... And i cant really do much when any file over 50 + mb gets corrupt can i?

    Any ideas is welcome

    WinRAR Error: ! C:\Documents and Settings\Stroke\My Documents\L2_C3_Installer.zip: CRC failed in L2_C3_Installer\data2.cab. The file is corrupt
    -
    WinZip Error:testing: L2_C3_Installer\ OK
    testing: L2_C3_Installer\data1.cab OK
    testing: L2_C3_Installer\data1.hdr OK
    testing: L2_C3_Installer\data2.cab Error: invalid compressed data to inflate
    At least one error was detected in C:\Documents and Settings\Stroke\My Documents\L2_C3_Installer.zip.

    sounds like your hard drive has bad sectors. Run scandisk. or go to start -> run -> cmd
    type chkdsk /f

    Just reinstall WINRAR or WINZIP whichever you're using. This kind of problem used to happen often for me.

    What broswer are you using? I suppose you have tried downloading the file again? I think you should try to get the file from another source too. Might even help to try 7-Zip.

    If you have even 1 error, thats bad. You have so many errors that i can easly determine that your have defective ram. If you have more than 1 stick, pull out all but 1 and test them 1 at a time till you figure out wich one is bad.

    Well the source file could be corrupt as well... ie, something on the server's hard drive.
