Corrupted Files

[duo8675309]

I'm trying to download *please no piracy talk, read the forum rules* but when it gets to 100% it says "file corrupted." Ok, I can deal with that, but if 110 people have that one particular file, not to mention the hindreds of variations of it, then how come mine is corrupted? Please help!

I don't understand the corrupt file thing, and lately it seems to be getting more common. Isn't very irrating to waste time to download a song (or three in a row) and at the very end they are corrupt. Is there anything we can do, does it matter if we try again the next day or is it going to be the same bs? I'm lost, I could use some help-please-someone?!

Try a different source next time. Perhaps that particular file is corrupt. Though a file can show as being corrupt for a multiple of reasons. People often downld files & leave them in their shared folders without checking them for many weeks. That's a bad habit.
