Can't download any games

sheepshagger83 · 10-30-2007, 01:20 PM

Every time I try to download a demo from this site I get an error message around completion time.

C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME\Desktop\Crysis_SP_Demo.zip: Unexpected end of archive

This happened with Crysis, CoD4 and Pro Evo 2008.

Systems not that great or that bad. AMD Athlon 3000+ 2.16Ghz processor, 1.2 Gig ram, GeForce6600GT 256Mb and plenty space left on my hard drive.

Any suggestions or I am I doomed to having to buy a new PC?

A new pc? Because you got an error? I wonder what planet you are coming from...
Tell me, what browser do you actually use for visiting this website? I am asking that, because I expect your browser is causing the trouble.

Just get Firefox, delete your temporary internet folders and download again. Internet explorer has some issues with downloading big files.

Opera is even better in this case. Because it is so much lighter then firefox/internet explorer, downloads are quicker. Neither does it slow down as quick as the other two browsers I mentioned do (when their temporary folders are getting full).
But still you should clean your temp folders regularly, of course.

Bu the way, here is a link to the Opera site: clickylinky

It's a shame to you see having issues with multiple downloads. I am just wondering whether the issue could be virus/spyware related. What anti virus and anti spyware do you use? As far as your computer question goes, your pc will mostlikely have terrible problems running those games and an upgrade would be suggested.

With this many downloads a day/week/month by this many users there are always going to be people having troubles like yours, lets see what we can do to help you.

I'm using Trend Micro PC-cillan for my spyware/anti virus. Regularly scan and update it so I'm pretty sure its not that. ISP is Tiscali and I've been able to download from here in the past, just seems can't do it now. Gonna try downloading a smaller file see how that pans out.
