B_Bogus Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Hi All, Just decided to put DCS on my rig - I'm an old Lock-on fan, and downloaded all the DCS files from the German mirror site. Tried running the .exe, and got the 'file corrupt' message. I think the .exe is actually OK - it's just not 'seeing' the .bin files Did some surfing, and found a checksum app, which showed all four of the .bin files were incomplete - when I checked the file sizes, some were way off! I've never had this kind of issue before, where a download has 'finished' but hasn't. :dunno: I'm now downloading the torrent to see if this actually works. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Have others had similar issues?
Winfield_Gold Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I only use the torrents and have never had an issue. Unfortunately I can't answer the first part of the question regarding the mirror sites. Hope the torrent works correctly for you

Hope the torrent works correctly for you Yep - happy to report the torrent installed just fine. Still baffled as to why the mirrors allow incomplete downloads - just never encountered that before!:huh: It's evident that it's a known problem, as the checksum data is provided to verify the download, but some clearer acknowledgement of the issue might be useful, i.e. 'Torrent is more likely to succeed than mirrors'!
