tried newer or older versions of winrar?

Or, even PowerArchiver 2006?

i have the newest winrar but i dont understand why they all corrupt. can it be because i resume and stop it every now and then. could that be causing it to corrupt?

Maybe it's something little, like your hard drive failing :O

Try taking one of the things you downloaded to someone else's machine on a CD and seeing if it reads there.

Or maybe the file never actually completed.

 

[giant384]

already tried that

You internet connection might be shit and therefor a lot of lost packets...enough to corrupt the file. Something must be happening where you don't receive all of the files data.

well i do have wireless and that could be the problem

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

I've never had a problem with files getting corrupted as they transfer over wireless, but it's theoretically possible.

i used a program called utorrent and everytime i use bittorrent it never connects to anyone

Try downloading another program to read the RAR files. I always use PowerArchiver anyway.
