winzip problem

[Grong]

when i try to extract a winzip file, it shows an error message. (just some numbers) i looked it up on the winzip report and it said that the size of the extracted file was (smaller, or larger, dunno it doesn't matter really) than the compressed file. now, all the programs ive extracted have the option to continue despite of the error message, just to see if it works anyway, but when i try to for example install the rome: total war demo, another error appears, but i can still continue. When i try to run the demo, it crashes to dektop.

hope you understood that


Now this has happened before with others zips and my bet is that the zip file is corrupt but, I WANT IT TO STOP!


when i download zip files over say 100 mb, (probably smaller) it is automatically corrupt for some reason! and ALOT of stuff is compressed with winzip so its REALLY annoying.




so essentially, almost all of the winzip files i download are corrupt, for some peculiar reason.




btw i tried extracting it with winrar, but i got the same error message.

bad downloads. if winrar and zip both fail, its because the files suck.

@Grong

Or it could mean that you have some bad memory maybe your ram
has faults, if it never extracts these files and always says wrong checksum
there is a possibility for bad ram, which I had experienced myself.

I would recommend a test of ram. (free test progs are avaible search google)

But it could also be a lousy internet connection as Sepht mentioned.

maybe your download maneger just sux. happens also when it stops DLing and starts again but missin the link.
It's enopugh that one link is missed to get a corrupted file sinse no prg can be able to unzipped it then.
there are prgs that fixes broken zips but i don't know their names...what for, i get them all working :P
