I downloaded the *long* Blades of Avernum.exe file last night, this morning, I installed it. However, when it came time to decompress the .exe file, I recieved the following message: --------------------- ERROR C:\BOA\Blades of Avernum.exe A decompression error has been detected (#7) File CRC mismatched - Data integrity error ---------------------- I downloaded the file using the HTTP link. I'll try again using one of the FTP links. Hopefully, this time it willl decompress correctly. James -------------------- Sometimes I just don't know anything about everything -- or do I ?

Its a good idea to use a program that can restart downloads when you are downloading large files. I use wget http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html But there are plenty of easier to use download managers. If the file get is smaller then the whole file you can just restart and get the rest. A good download manager will notice this and restart the download automatically. Posts: 27 | Registered: Thursday, March 18 2004 08:00 |

You can also try winrar. It will repair some minor problems even in zip and exe formats. -------------------- Instant Human-Just add liberal doses of Coffee. Posts: 87 | Registered: Sunday, March 10 2002 08:00 |

I reccomend Fresh Download. http://www.freshdevices.com/ It's totally free (even registration), but they're a pretty trustworthy company and they really don't spam you. -------------------- Apparently still annoying. Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |

I have problems downloading things too. It took me three tries to download Geneforge II. Maybe that will work, keep trying the download. See if it works. -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta! Posts: 1287 | Registered: Thursday, August 14 2003 07:00 |

Um..using FreshDownload or similar -seriously- reduces your chances of file download corruption. -------------------- Apparently still annoying. Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |
