I've just registered and downloaded some games however after trying to transfer a couple of them to my cardmy pc is saying the file is corrupt....is there a way to re-download it without costing points? sorry if this question has already been asked but I'm new to all of this and now its saying I don't have enough points.
Read this: https://www.romulation.org/introduction/#points Downloads are zero point cost for 24 hours after you download a file.
yep but I've got to wait til 9pm tonight just so I can re-download again. I was a little disappointed that several of the files I downloaded were corrupt. I managed to re-download 2 of them, so I guess I'll just have to wait til my points 'reset' tonight and download the others again 8)
Why do you have to wait until 9pm? Point cost is zero for 24 hours after you download Also, use a download manager like FlashGet www.flashget.com This will help you stop getting corrupted downloads.
I'm not sure to be honest as I'm new to this. I was getting a message once I try to 'extract' the file to transfer it onto my microsd card my pc comes up with a warning telling me the file is corrupt. I'm guessing it can be interference when downloading maybe? And I suposed like anything electronic I guess sometimes they fail so you just have to try again. Last night one of the first files I downloaded didn't work so I deleted it then downloaded it again and it was fine.
thanks Tirith, I've just downloaded 'flashget' & having a play with it now , thank you Post Merge: [time]1276319864[/time] I've tried re-downloading on of the corrupted games & it seems to be working, thank you again
I'm not sure if you misunderstood or not. But it's zero point cost only for the 24 hour period after you download, not after that time. If you waited until 9pm, then the games you downloaded would have point cost again.
