hi folks,
i'm new to amule, but the program seems very thorough.
But i've run into a snag. Of all the files i've d/l'd only one, a small file, has not turned out corrupt. I know they could be bad source files but the odds of that are getting lower each time i d/l a file and it turns out to be corrupted. Any ideas what i may be doing wrong or how i can rebuild corrupt rar or zip files? Thanks. -splnlss

This is pretty weird. You waited until aMule said the files were finished and did not simply try to open files in the temp folder, right?

yeah, of course. It seems like it's screwing up the file so that winrar, or other decompression software can't uncompress the files. I've tried lots of rar & zip software on both a mac and pc. odd...

It'd be interesting to see if the hash of the file comes out right. One way to check is to duplicate the file in a directory that's being shared by aMule, giving it a different name than it had when you downloaded it. Tell aMule to reload shared files (or just restart aMule). aMule will start hashing the new copy of the file. When it completes, it will show up in your shared files list. Compare the hash it calculates with the one it has for the file you originally downloaded. If they differ, something went very wrong when aMule completed the file. If they're the same, then aMule really did download the file as it was being shared by the sources.
