Keep getting corrupted download
August 3rd, 2016
is there anyone else having this issue when downloading big games files
i’ve tried like lots of the bombshell source and i keep getting corrupted files
this happens to all the games i download
what i’ve tried:
– download using download manager (IDM)
– download using premium accounts
– download using download manager but without premium accounts
– download without using download manager and without premium accounts (normal free download from the web)
nothing i download is working. and yeah i did key in the password protected while unrar properly
anyone has advice? i’ve like download hundreds of GB already…
TIA

Antivirus programs can sometimes attack downloads…Also bad ethernet cables or wireless link.
Google…”Test for internet download corruption”…
to find some things you can check including repairs on some files..
get links from trusted uploaders here at ..
if you still get corrupted files after extracting..
then you got a RAM problem here.. try testing your RAMS via Memtest
let it have 4 to 6 pass i think to ensure ram is perfectly working..
if not, time to change those rams..
thx guys
computer not running any antiv at the moment
my other small downloads like movies, blueray rip are all good, all except these big game files only
anyway gonna try test the ram later
cheers
Test your RAM. hard to believe but that is the solution for some.
Awhile back, WinRAR versions under 5.0 were messing up downloaders. What is your rar version?
you have a link to post that was corrupt here and I can test your link??
When is your corruption? during extraction?
try extracting and selecting “keep broken files”
I have run into so called corrupt downloads that extract this way and work
I think it may have to do with the rar’er using and unregistered version of winrar
you can also try using 7zip to extract the files
@tooth
my rar is still 4.2 but don’t think it’s that prob as i’ve also tried 7zip to extract, same thing
links that i have (files) are too many, sometimes 1 sometimes 3 in a row got corrupted when i tried to extract
no worries tooth, its not the link problem
anyway i tried on another PC of mine, it works fine with the IDM. i think it could be my ram issue or another hardware here, HDD is 100% health so it’s not that
@edwood
yeap i did try check keep broken files, it did finish extract succesfully but, all those would have some sort of issue afterwards when i tried to install them
anyway guys, thx for the help
i’ve currently able to download without any prob on another pc of mine here, so later i’ll check the memory of my current rig later ya
cheers all
have you run a disk check
a corrupt file system might cause the D/L to seem corrupt
