I think I have recommended to both of you to try using winrar with the file you've already downloading, no reason to re-download.


Susie,

As previously explained, this applies to both megapacks now, with 7Zip it gets to 25% extraction and seems to get stuck on readme file but will not progress. As it is stuck you can only close it. With WinZip or WinRar it starts extraction and finally comes up with a diagnostic message saying the file is corrupt and to redownload. I have now downloaded the newest megapack version twice. The same happens both times.

Im fairly competent on the PC as I work in IT and have tried troubleshooting ie changing config file, trying to re-extract skipping existing files so it should in essence pick up from 25% but still doesnt progress so am looking for specific possible fixes to this please.

Thanks

Kieran

Susie,

I am really losing my mind with these facepacks. As I was unable to get a fix to my problem outlined with you I proceeded to try to download the 5.02 version. Considering the size of these files it takes the best part of 7 hours to download so when I return to laptop in morning to find numerous errors from winzip telling me the file may be corrupt and to try downloading again then 7zip saying it cannot open as an archive. When the downloading takes so long it is not viable to keep downloading.

What is wrong with these megapacks?

Okay well if I try open the file in Winzip it says 'the central directory cannot be found' and suggests downloading the file again not a viable option when using Sky broadband as thats a days work and I dont want to keep downloading the file. If I right click the file and select extract it starts to extract the file but gives errors during extraction of '! C:\Users\Default.Default-PC\AppData\Local\Temp\sortitoutsi_megapack_5.01.zip: The archive is corrupt' if you click on the red x button it continues but after two of these errors Winzip closes and nothing happens. Out of interest at this point it is saying extraction is 0% complete although it runs through files for couple of mins.

Further help please, I only went premium on this for these downloads as the rapidshare ones are past their limits :-s

Try using winrar to extract the pack.


Winrar cant cope with the size of the file and gives a corrupt file error message mentioned earlier in thread. This is an eroneous error message and is in fact that just winrar isnt good with large compressed files.

Any other suggestions?

As per some of the previous comments Ive downloaded the full megapack 5.1 and successfully downloaded all 5.3GB. When I then use 7-Zip to extract the files to sports interactive > FM2013 > graphics it all begins as you would expect. However, every time it stops extracting at 24% and will not go any further. I have followed all these thread comments and tried your suggested fixes to no avail. Ive replaced the config file with the larger one and even tried re-extracting the file and selecting do not replace any existing files, so technically it should fly through to 24% and pick up from there but still the thing locks up at 24%. I dont think its 7-Zip although its the first time Ive used it as winzip really couldnt handle such a large zip file. So in a nutshell my game has 24% of the pictures from the pack. Please help
