[Adaptus]

..Then try a different source?

=/

 

[Super Veggeto]

I downloaded myself all 3 files and the archive ended up being damaged for me. =/

 

[Alundra]

I'm downloading it ATM... But they dont look like any kind of compressed file???

If you mean the files in this sticky: http://forum.esforces.com/showthread.php?t=68066

Then you need 7-Zip - http://www.7-zip.org/

 

[Alundra]

Thx man... And did u try those out?

 

[Super Veggeto]

Anyone got these 3 files working?
I mean for sure?

I downloaded all 3, tried to open them with every compressing program I had and in all it said the archive is damaged.

 

[MC]

Thx man... And did u try those out?

I haven't tried it yet, but I know that the .7z extension is unique to 7-Zip (you might find other programs out there that can open .7z files though).

 

[Alundra]

Oh okay^^
So... Super Veggeto... Did u try this program?

 

[Super Veggeto]

Yeah, I tried that one and what not, Winrar, Winzip =/ nothing did the trick, it appeared damaged in all of them.

 

[Alundra]

i hope i got better luck^^
And i also pm'ed the creator of the sticky

Winrar takes care of those as well ^^

 

[Alundra]

So have u tryed???

EDIT:

Could it be possible he used a program to split it into 3 files???
Since they have numbers in the end.... 001, 002, 003

 

[Super Veggeto]

He did, the file size ends up to be 185MB if I remember correctly, the Beta in HL2 Files and the Torrent is 230MB...
Perhaps it's just more compressed but it also might be the reason why it got damaged...

 

[Alundra]

Vegetto!!! Try this and tell me if it works....!!!

If this program doesnt work... This one will... -> Hj split -> http://www.cnet.com.au/downloads/0,239030384,10550267s,00.htm

 

[Super Veggeto]

If Winrar, Winzip and the source program 7-Zip didnt work, I doubt those 2 will =/ either way I deleted the files already...
I wonder if someone else can download and confirm that it really is corrupted...

 

[Alundra]

1. These program would merge the 001,002,003 files to a zip file^^ Im 100% sure

2. A new DDL has been added to the sticky:yes:

 

[LiteNET]

you could always use the torrent

 

[LionHeart]

sv i had a problem but with the torent download of esf 1.3 saying that it's corupted but just rename the file and add .rar at the end and it worked

 

[Super Veggeto]

My torrent is going at it for 5 hours now and it's at 15% or so 3;

Anyway, if anyone feels like uploading to Megaupload, it's always appreciated...

Yeah but I was talking about the 3 files downloaded from Rapidshare, the 185MB version...if anyone else can confirm these files are not corrupted then I'll keep redownloading it untill it works.
