Guest Bobbyaro Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hi all, I can not download files correctly. I first noticed, using firefox, that I couldn't download anything, I just put this down to a FF bug and just used IE7. IE would download files, and they seemed to be fine, although d/l rates were v slow. Now however, I have been d/l some zip files, and I can not uncompress them as they are corrupted. I have tried d/l them onto another PC and they are fine there, so I know it isn't the files themselves. I even tried some ZIP repairers, and alternate decompressors, but the files are beyond repair after d/l. It is not my router/connection, as they work when d/l to my laptop, but a file d/l to my PC, then transferred to the laptop will not uncompress. So something on my PC is stopping the files being d/l correctly. I have turned off all unnecessary apps, and stopped my virus scanner from looking at web access and also turned off my firewall, still no success. Virus scans come up clean, as do adware searches. As such, I am at a loss, so turn to you knowledgeble types with a plea of help. Thanks in advance, Bobby Oh, also the files being d/l are not very large, only about 32 - 128Mb,
Guest Martin C Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: Downloads Corrupted Probably not the case in your instance, but do you have any download accelerator applications in use on your PC. They have been known to cause some problems like this in the past.

Guest Alan T Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: Downloads Corrupted Hi, I have the same problem. I just wonder this is the problem of download accelerator, I got FreeDownload Manager, it worked fine in my previous XP machine, all downloaded installer worked fine. Now I installed XP in another machine also has FreeDownload Manager installed. All files (ie installer) are corrupted. I had a bad experience with installing XP: Last year I tried to install XP but got some errors while installing - cannot read files from the CD. I skipped them and finally installed. Then some strange problems came up including this same problem. Now my recently XP installation had no problem, very smooth but this same problem arise.
