Problem with corrupted rar file
August 7th, 2013
You can try to repair the archive feature in WinRAR, but chances are if its corrupted, its corrupted.

Download again…
Thank you!
if the rar file is in recovery record then repair works. otherwise redownload.
winrar= alt+r
The problem isn’t always with the rar part that Winrar says it is. Sometimes the corrupt part is an earlier part so re-downloading the part that Winrar says has a problem doesn’t always fix it. In those cases the only way to find out is to hash check the files. That can only be done if there are RS links available where you can get the file hashes from.
File and Image uploader can get the Md5 file hashes for links from the RS server.
It could simply be a corrupt upload, or your internet connection may be a bit flaky.
Have you tried downloading to a different pc if possible to see if the same happens to rule out your pc.
If it’s the same, download from elsewhere
