    Zip Problems
    « on: October 20, 2008, 04:34:45 PM »
    I downloaded winrar archive files an some times the ones that work stop working but when ever I try an open one I download it says the name of the file the header is corrupt.  Could be just where I am getting it but I try other places an still the same thing.

    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

    This is far too common for poorly built RAR's and or a quirky Internet Connection...

          Ummm.....What?

          If you keep downloading the file and the problem is there all the time, it's a problem with the upload.

                  are you discriminating against files solely based in their *censored* preference?
