Title: Downloaded file corrupt [SOLVED]
Post by: That Martin Guy on February 10, 2015, 08:27:28 am
So, this morning i tried to use the sfml 2.2 for 64 bit. When i ran the test program i wrote, it told me that i should use the 32 bit version. So i downloaded the 32 bit version, but when i tried to extract it, winrar said

!   C:\Users\Axel\Downloads\SFML-2.2-windows-vc10-32-bit.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
 

Help?

The files aren't corrupted on our servers. You can check your downloaded version against the MD5 (http://www.sfml-dev.org/files/MD5SUMS) oder SHA1 (http://www.sfml-dev.org/files/SHA1SUMS) hashes.

Additionally you can try 7z or another unpacking tool.

Sorry if this question is stupid, but how would i compare hashes?

Just Google (https://www.google.ch/search?q=windows%20md5%20checksum) for applications that can do it.

I dont really understand how i could fix this thought. When i try to open the zip file with 7zip, it doesnt recognize it as an archive.

Yes, i have done it twice now. Will try one more time and report back when im done.

Edit: nope. Neither 7zip or winrar can extract it.

You might want to try and disable your anti virus software, since these can sometimes block some stuff and the software might only notice it as "corrupted".

Otherwise, here (http://my-gate.net/pub/SFML-2.2-windows-vc10-32-bit.zip)'s another mirror of the file.

I repacked it as 7z (http://my-gate.net/pub/SFML-2.2-windows-vc10-32-bit.7z) if that doesn't work it's most definitely something on your end.

Sadly that doesnt work either. It seems it works with any other version of sfml thought. What do you suggest i should do in that case?

Download it from another PC and copy it on a USB key :-\

It all would bring me back to your AV. The SFML packages ship with the examples as executable. Some AV might raise a false positive on them and thus blocking the whole unpacking.

Its not my anti virus, that im sure of.
How do you know that? Have you disabled it and tried again?

Yes. Plus it usually doesnt block files unless i specifically tell it to block that certain file.

The strange thing is, i get the exact same error on my other computer. What seems to be my only option left seems to be to download another version of sfml and/or visual studio.

I dont know if this is the problem or not, but my system isnt 32-bit, if that helps.
