Failed download.
 

I have tried to download Americas Army from 3 different locations given to me by the main site.Each time when the download had finished and I try to extract it ,it comes up as CRC failed unexpected end to archive.
I have looked on the forums and it says to try and use a downloader ,I have had no use of these and was wondering if they are ok to use and if yes which .?

Re: Failed download.
 

I used to use Download Accelerator, but haven't used one for a while as i just use Opera's standard.

Re: Failed download.
 

I use an old version of Reget thats never let me down so I never downloaded it. Its not unusual for HTTP downloads of size to break on the way

Re: Failed download.
 

Is it free to use.?
What version is the one to use ,or is the latest ok .?

Re: Failed download.
 

What kind of file format are you trying to d/l mate?
I always use Internet Download Manager.

Re: Failed download.
 

What do you mean by format .?
It comes down as a RAR file about 2.6GB.
Id does say I have downloaded the whole file ,but when I check the size,it is about 1.9GB.

Re: Failed download.
 

So its a Rar file, Do you have Winrar installed on your PC?

iirc, IE has a limit of 2Gb when downloading files, so you'll need to use something different to IE in order to download it.

Re: Failed download.
 

Yes I have Winrar .

Re: Failed download.
 

That is correct.

Try: www.orbitdownloader.com

With the Internet download manager if i start 2 downloads of the same file do they become part of one file or do they stay two seperate files ?.

Re: Failed download.
 

They are the same file, split into two for faster downloading.

Does FireFox also suffer from a max download limit?

Re: Failed download.
 

It is a single file of over 2GB ,how do I split the file into 2 ?

Re: Failed download.
 

I'm not exactly sure on the mechanics of the software, I'm just going off what I remember.

The download manager creates two downloads, splitting the file, to allow a faster connection for both parts. I could be wrong though.

Re: Failed download.
 

i use firefox with downthemall which is a add on for it and that never lets me down i can max my connection out no problem, aslong as the site that i am downloading from will allow 50mb down, i also don't know of any download limit with it size wise.
