Broken file, Metroid Prime 2 zip by DChronos at 6:37 PM EDT on June 30, 2008
Hey, I checked out the Metroid Prime 2 music in the DSP streams area (just had to have it), and after I got the ZIP, 7-zip says the file "swanp-mae32.dsp" has a CRC error and that the file is broken. Does anyone got this single file unbroken? I'm thinking firefox screwed up the download, and I'd rather not re-attempt downloading the entire zip wasting shitloads of bandwidth.
If you're using Firefox, then the Down Them All extension is really nice. If you prefer a more fully-featured download manager though, I suggest Free Download Manager. I've had Down Them All installed for quite awhile, and I very rarely use it anymore, because I have Free Download Manager installed.
As for what HCS said, he's right. Downloading files from Servage (HCS's host) without a download manager of some form is a bad idea. It's very likely your connection will be dropped during the download, resulting in incomplete and corrupt files. Hope that helps.
As for your corrupt file, I'd be surprised if the ZIP file is actually complete. That is, though I don't have it sitting in front of me, I doubt that "swanp-mae32.dsp" is the only file you have a problem with (I would think there's others which simply don't even exist in your (likely) incomplete ZIP file). Sorry I couldn't help more. Mouser X over and out.
Yes, I know that, that wasn't the point of the post... I was asking if someone could get that single file (their WORKING file) and put it up, please. I don't want to waste a couple hundred Mb of your bandwidth to get 1 2Mb file out of it just because mine doesn't work.
Also, so far, if this is a firefox issue, this is the first time I've had this happen for anything, aside from Galbadia which is notorious for me for only sending exactly 138 bytes of a file, and immediately saying Download complete... and I always know it isn't and re-download immediately.
Again, the only file I need is this single file from the zip: "swanp-mae32.dsp" Because mine is broken. I have all the rest and they work just fine. Please and thanks!
How would it do that if I already have the zip, which opens and extracts everything else just fine? If it didn't finish, 7-zip shouldn't be opening it at all, it would tell me it's a corrupt file or it's incomplete. It's finished enough to have the file in the zip, and everything else, the numbers read right, but it says that file is corrupt and won't extract only that file. It did the first time I extracted, and I had a 4 second long file of the music, then it skipped to the next song.
After the first time, it wouldn't extract it again. In fact, I'm staring at it in my recycling bin right now, it turned it out as a 200Kb file, but it's labeled as about 1100Kb, and I'm sure it's actually longer than that.
Besides, if I installed download manager right now, wouldn't it just overwrite the file that's already there if I re-download from scratch, and just download the whole thing again anyway?
