Fix a corrupt download?
« on: Thursday, November 20, 2008, 03:06:57 PM »
I downloaded a bunch of files this past week, some fairly large (by my standards). Quite a few free MMOs. Anyway, I downloaded the 4 part installed for Perfect World, and it appears part 3 is corrupt. Since its 600MB, and I'm no longer leeching some wifi I hope I can fix it somehow.

The one method I know of is to find a torrent containing the file, start the torrent and then replace the temp file with the file I have. The BT client would check over the file, throw out the bad bits, and then download just the parts I need. Unfortunately I havent been able to find a torrent containing that file. Doh.

Is there anything else I can do?

Newsgroups?  Segmented archives got their popularity there.  There's no reason for them on torrents or even fast servers anymore.
