Broken Roms?

    3250 - Elebits The Adventures Of Kai And Zero - USA
    3249 - Metal Slug 7 - Europe
    Both of these appear as corrupted when I try to extract them... I've looked around to see if I did something wrong but no luck in that... It also appears that I'm the only one with this problem because I've looked for other topics but nothing...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Have you successfully extracted other ROMs? Otherwise upgrade your version of winrar to the latest one.

    This ROM is definitely broken. Waste of points.

    I updated my winrar. It keeps telling me unexpected end of archive, despite being recognised as an iso file. I've tried other wii files on this site, and they all work fine. This is the first time Winrar has ever failed to properly extract a file. And again i've updated. so there's no excuse. If you can give me more information on how to get this working i would be grateful. I love this game.

    ROMs are definitely fine.
    I've manually checked both files, and they're fine. I'm using WinRAR 5.0.1.

    Try 7-Zip.

    Just redownload. Your connection most likely got disconnected before it finished downloading.

    Okay so i tried to restart the download and try again, It tells me that the download is 0 points then tells me to upgrade to premium because i don't have enough. Just...what?

    I tried to download the elebits game for wii. I think you guys are talking about the DS game. either way the file is definitely broken. I tried again with the same result. Please remove and replace the Elebits wii game and the DS one. Oh wait...maybe it's only broken on the US server. Are you guys from UK?

    The NDS game was the only one discussed here, the Wii one was not mentioned until now. Will have a look at the Wii ISO soon.

    So have you or someone checked out the elebits wii game yet? It's the download that i think is broken.

    I did check it and the game we have on the server is fine, which means it breaks during download.

    Well i'm certainly not trying again. I've made many large downloads on my computer before. Almost 12 GB over 13 hours. I've never had a corrupt download before. I've even downloaded wii games from this site with no problems. I would think the same file failing twice in a row is very unlikely. Sorry to bother you. Is there multiple servers for each country? Maybe it's only broken on my server. Or maybe i'm just unlucky. If i could go premium i probably would try again, But it really isn't worth the points so i give up.
