Failed download.

Quam256 · 03-05-2009, 16:27

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 .?

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

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

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.

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.

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 ?.

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

Does FireFox also suffer from a max download limit?

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.

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.
