    I tried to download the ISO for Harvest Moon but when I download it, the only thing in it was another .rar file that I tried to open but it said it was damaged. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    the download process might be interrupted,so the RAR file you got is a corrupted one.try to redownload and this time use download manager like Flashget or IDMan

    Redownload it. To be safe, use a different method, manager, in browser etc.

    He pretty much means try a better download manager program on your browser. With Firefox you can get addons like that for free, it's the best browser.

    Also try not to run too many programs on your computer while you are downloading. Sometimes the computer can be over worked by too much going on at one time, and it tends to corrupt youre download in my experience. I try to just leave the computer to download and finish before I do other things and I haven't had a corrupt download since.

    ...It's simple, just redownload it, without having too many programs running...

    I don't use download managers, sure 4/10 fail and means I have to start from the beginning, but it's fine with me :)

    And be patient-if your using a wireless net ie mobile broad band or wireless router, be aware that signal interfearance can disrupt the download-so don't have your mobile sitting right next to it XD

    (point-blank signals may affect it...)


    Well good luck
