I think I can respond here with some insight - When some new files are posted, they are occasionally corrupt. This is usually because of PR people meddling with the game (A Classic example of this was the Soldner Beta, that didnt even work).
Also, you may not be aware, but the file goes to the main mirror (NL) first, then to the others - so, if the original file is corrupt, then the others will be also. This hardly, hardly ever happens, It never did when I was newsing, and I dont see why it would start now, I'm interested to why it should be happening - if you spot one happening again, mail me at
matthew_P@gamershell.com, with the filename please
Also: Do you run any download clients or such?
