has your comp crashed while dling them, cause it could cause some sort of error, while you dl, and causing it to be corrupted. the same happened to me in the daytona game, but i just redled, and made sure my comp didnt have any errors and they worked fine the next time

If you're downloading from an ### server, make sure you DO NOT resume downloads. If your downloads are broken, re-download it again from the very beginning. Those .rar and .001 files can't be resumed if downloaded from ###.

IF those don't wokr you could always try defragmenting your hard disk, more than likely hard disk fragmentation isn't the problem but it's worth a try.

OK, heres somet tips that might seam obvious, but here goes.

1) Dont download a game from multiple sites or ###S. If your getting a game, make sure you get it all from one place.

2) Use a roll back in ur ### program so that if u have to resume it will go back a little and not start from where u left off. On SMART ### this is found at tools >> settings >> Connection and is the bottom setting, i set mine to roll back 5K, which i have never had probs with. So that would be 5 x 1024 bytes = a setting of 5120.

3) Try to avoid too much resume if you lose connection. This can be hard from busy sites, so try to download when its not too busy.
