    I recently downloaded both CD images for Valkyrie Profile (PSOne) and both seem to be corrupt. Winrar gives "unexpected file end" and "file is corrupt errors.

    I would very much like it if the files might be looked into and fixed and have my points reimbursed so that I might download the aforementioned files. If the former is not possible then at least, please allow me to have my points back.

    Thank you.

    umm, this happens to me sometimes. It just means your download stopped somewhere in the middle. Best option is to delete, get a download manager and redownload

    Incase you don't know what a download manager is or where to get one:

    A Download Manager is a program which downloads files, rather than relying on your web browser to do it. It has features that the browser does not, including the most important one which is the ability to store the part of the file already downloaded and resume the download at a later time from where it left off. This way if a download stops for any reason, it can be started again without having to start from the beginning.

    I recommend FlashGet. It is free and works well. www.flashget.com

    Thanks for the help!

    I'll try these out and see how that goes.

    One problem, though. I tried downloading again and it took what few points I had left. Furthermore, the points I had used for the downloads are still gone. Would these be reimbursable or am I pretty much out of luck?

    You'll likely have to wait to earn more points.

    Could've sworn it was that one could redownload if there was a problem without getting more points deducted. I'll have to check the rules again. :p

    I recently downloaded a game and when I went to extract it, it gets to about 26% then tells me the "file is broken".

    Is this a similar case to corrupt files or does it mean the ROM itself has something wrong with it?

    Are you using a download manager?
    It might also happen cause of the server upgrade.

    i should probably get a download manager!!! i see the benefits of one now!

    The download isn't the problem. I downloaded the game successfully through my browser.

    Read carefully please.

    When I go to EXTRACT the file onto my computer, it starts extracting, but stops extracting at around 26% and a window pops up and says "Unable to extract. File is Broken."

    Usually that happens cause of a corrupted download =3=

    yes, but still,
    your browser downloader probably stopped for a very short amount of time (micrseconds) and it corrupted the data

    Thank you for helping me.

    I'll try redownloading it.

    I'll try using a Download Manager too.

    I have downloaded Re-Loaded [SLUS-00382]
    https://www.romulation.org/PSX/Re-Loaded_%5BU%5D_%5BSLUS-00382%5D.rar.html/

    using both the browser and FlashGet download manager. I downloaded it twice with the manager and all three times I got the "File is corrupt" message. Please confirm if the file is not broken, because I am pretty sure that the problem is not on my side and I would hate to see my 486 points wasted like that.

    Does it finished completely?

    ... are you download that game using both download manager at the same time?

    It finishes like it should. I wasn't downloading the file twice at the same time. I did notice that the uncompressed file is much larger than the size of the .rar file (717.181 KB to 497.430 KB)

    the download is not complete... I think
    try using Orbit Downloader or Free Download Manager.
