Someone please help me. Every time i download a zip file (dunno if size has anything to do with it) and i try to extract it this problem occurs (just an example, doesn't have to be spiderman, it didn't work with ground control 2, americas army or aynthing else)

*
Extracting to "c:\unzipped\spiderman2demo\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
Extracting setup.bmp
Extracting MainApp.cab
bad CRC 2b45d42a (should be eb135854)
Warning: the size of the extracted file (155609771) does not match the uncompressed size (155609765) recorded in the zip file

Interrupted
*

Now under here, is what the message tab says the moment it occurs

*
"some data in your zip file is damaged. the crc is 2b45d42a but should be eb135854"
*

well its not EXACTLY like that but its the same problem that occurcs - "the crc is something but should be something". And its like that on ALL zip files, so now i have to use gamespot's download service which is horribly slow. I can't use gamershell download anymore and its so great and fast!!
Plus, almost all files are compressed in zip files these days so im almost crippled when it comes to downloading stuff. Please help!

Edit: and yes, before anyone asks i did redownload the files that didn't work, like the winzip program suggests, but it still doesn't work. Really annoying when you're downloading america's army for instance for 700mb only to find out that you can't use the file! :rant:
