Why are the rar files all corrupted?

All I was asking for is help getting the patch that is offered by Game Copy World. Since I own the game in question, I am not asking for any warez or things like that.

According to the rules of this board I am well within the posted regulations so your post does not make any sense.

I am not trying to be rude, but it is not like I asked for a link to a warez copy of this game, all I asked was for some help in getting something that GCW is offering for free...where is the harm in that?

When you read the stickies, you might have noticed this one. It's there for a good reason : we get countless questions from newbies using outdated archivers and thinking the files are corrupt. That's why you got the response you did. I must admit that it looks like that for ONCE, there really was a corrupt file hosted. Now I'm sorry you've got a nasty response, but trust me : you're the one exception in a neverending stream of newbies that don't bother to read the stickies, that's why this whole misunderstanding happened. So once again sorry for the poor reception and from me a big welcome to the board. I'm glad you did read the stickies, as I said very few new people seem to do that. I hope you've got a working crack now ?
