Burgeoning Battle Gamma The Real Dragon King Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila coreyh Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Devlish Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 You can also try winrar. It will repair some minor problems even in zip and exe formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk UA Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 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.

Unflappable Drayk Toenail Returns Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk UA Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Um..using FreshDownload or similar -seriously- reduces your chances of file download corruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, fresh download is far better than some of the others out there. The current problem now the slowness in battle death graphics. Guess you can't have everything...
