Corrupt .rar files from Screenshotarchive?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Bomber:

Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem. I've downloaded a few of the .rar files from screenshotarchive.com (which is an awesome resource!) and some of these seem to be corrupt.

The two that come to mind are the SNES snapshots and the Atari Lynx cartscans. The files I have are definately the correct size so it wasn't a case of the download being interupted. The SNES was a real heartbreaker after a 30MB+ download over dialup  :-[

When I open the files in winrar, I get a message saying the file is corrupt and only the first few scans are available.

Any ideas before I send an email of to Stuzza?



Silver:

try to redownload a couple of times at least and see if the .rar files you have are EXACTLY the same size - if they are not it could be a problem with the connection being dropped, not the files. If they are all the same size it could be they are wrong on the server.....

Bomber:

I had tried downloading a couple of times (the smaller files). They were always the same size and had the same problem.

This morning I tried the SNES screenshots and it opens fine. Go figure.

Thanks for the reply anyway Silver.

stuzza:

I've just checked the files and they all seem to be fine.  What version of Winrar are you using?  I think some older versions may have had issues with certain files.  Perhaps try updating your Winrar.  Let me know if you still have problems.

I am having the same problem with those exact same rars using latest version of winace.
