Corrupt .rar files from Screenshotarchive?
<< < (2/2)
Bomber:
I tried to re-download a couple of the files on the same computer and using the same version of winrar and they have worked! They are the same file size as the files that I'm told are corrupt.  ???

Paige - if you like I can email you the .rar files that have opened OK. Maybe you'll have more luck with them. Otherwise its worth trying to re-download - seemed to work for me.

Stuzza - thanks for making all these pics available to everyone. Mamewah just wouldn't be the same without them...

I'm wondering if this is a cache/temporary internet files issue.

I've had this happen before.  You're download a file, the connection quits before it's done.. the file saves to your disk.. It's "corrupt".  Now every time you download the same file, you get the same file size, and it's always "corrupt".  The reason for this is that you're not actually redownloading the file, you're getting the file back from the "temporary internet files" directory.  

Deleting all offline files through the tools -> internet options menu can solve this, if it's actually the issue.

If when you re-download the files, it actually goes through the download process and isn't near instantaneous, this probably isn't the issue.
