    I will try with Orbit Downloader, but I don't see the point in that. I would really like if someone would download the file and confirm if the file is corrupt or not.

    Also make sure your winrar is up to date, sometimes they change the algorithm and it breaks compatibility with older versions.

    It seems that I passed the 24h time limit to download the file. I won't be able to download it again to test the archive...

    I got an idea for future downloads...

    Re-install the download manager-my flashget started killing my romU downloads yet left other's intact.

    It helped.

    So this is it? No real technical support? And you expect people to pay money for the points...

    Have you try other download manager other than Flashget?

    If you trying to open the files, and extract it using Winrar,
    Try using 7-Zip.

    I am not able to download the file again, because it passed more than 24 hours since I spent my points on it.
    Using 7-Zip I get the "The data is broken" message.

    I just wasted my points downloading the file for you. I used download them all plugin for firefox to manage the download and I extracted the file using 7zip.
    As expected the file extracts perfectly, so the problem, as is usual with these matters, is at your end.

    And you have received support here from lots of people but if that's not good enough then, perhaps another community would suit you better.

    Thank you, that's all I wanted to hear. I was getting the suggestions to download the file again using different managers, although I surpassed the 24h download limit time. One certain thing is that I have a corrupt archive. I guess I'll need to spend my points again on the same file.

    Make sure you're using the lastest winrar version (3.90 I think). Sometimes they change the rar algorithm and it stops older versions of the software working
