Matrix Games Forums

Hi All

I have downloaded SPWAW V5.05 381mb on 2 occasions. Each time I attempt to unzip with WINZIP V 7 it I get the following winzip error:

Dll: C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZ32.DLL - 10/17/1998 7:00 AM
Testing ...
testing: Spwaw-v50-Internet.exe Error: invalid compressed data to inflate
At least one error was detected in C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/Downloads/Spwaw-v501-Internet2.zip.

I also attempted to unzip with PKZIP (new version) which gives me an "incorrect table file" error and WINACE which gives me a "CRC error". I have WIN98 ME. I have a 56k modem in Australia and have resumed downloading 8 times. Maybe this corrupted some of the files?. This is a huge file, 380mb and takes me about 20 hours spread over a week to download. So as I have done this twice I was hoping that someone may be able to shed some light on what i can do for a solution. The game looks fantastic and I am commited to continue one way or the other. I just need some feedback before I attempt a 3rd download and another 20 hours.

regards

Pat

Unfortunately it sounds like your downloads are corrupted, you can try it from one of the other gamers site which sometimes prove to be a little faster at times. Here is one that I use because Matrix Servers seem over taxed at times. http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/spwaw_downloads.htm

Hi there,

It osunds like you are getting corrupted files. This is why you get the CRC error and all the others.

Your best bet will be to find a frined with a high-speed connection and a CD-burner and a really good downloading manager: wget, go!zilla, netvampire, ....

Also, with Go!zilla you can check wich site is the fastest for you... or which one is closest to you (minimum number of 'hops').

I live in the USA, so I cannot help you here .

Hope this helps
