CRC error when extracting BIN files

[BMWZ3]

I hope someone can help me here.

After downloading all the parts to a RAR file. I try to extract the BIN and it gives me the error "CRC error unable to extract" . But I still see it created a BIN file.

Does that mean the BIN file is bad ? If so, does that mean I have to redownload ALL parts of the RAR or can I find out which part of the RAR is bad ??

Thanks in Advance !!

That's quite a package and could take most of your life to sort out if you do it piecemeal, I reckon. It creates the BIN file as it extracts. So you have part of a BIN file there and it's useless. Either the source of the download was bad and equally (not less/more) possible is a bad transmission. My advice is for you to try to download it ALL no more than once more and if it fails, give up on that game. In giving that advice, I have to say that I tried just ONE download, hit similar problems and vowed never to do it again for all the time I could see being wasted.

If you've got a BMW Z3 you could sell it to buy the game in question!

Thanks man, I have 2 BMW Z3's in fact .....a blue one and a silver one ...... they're both awsome ....

It would be great if I could sit in it though, I don't fit quite well into 1/18 scale cars 8)

I only wish I had a real Z3 ......... that car rocks !!!

Well, if you can get a file with the extension ".SFV" for those rar(s), you can then know which file(s) are bad, and redownload them, so you don't have to download all the files again.
