Some Broken downloads

Post by Daniel_Uruguay »

Hello everybody!!

I found some links broken, as follows:

Final Approach: Pilot Edition https://legendsworld.net/shooter/game/15265 Mega Empty Folder
Fireburst https://legendsworld.net/shooter/game/21769 Mega Empty Folder
Foxeroids https://legendsworld.net/shooter/game/27211 Mega Missing
Freedom Fall https://legendsworld.net/adventure/game/10038 Mega
.RAR Files are Ok. But files inside .rar are incomplete

If they could be fixed, I will appreciate so much!

Thanks in advance!!

Hugs from Brazil

Thank you, @Scaryfun!
I wrote down those broken links some time ago; I'll try them again.
Otherwise, @Egon68, Freedom Fall was the last one I downlowded, a couple of days ago.
As I wrote, the .rar files are ok, BUT, when uncompressed, the ISO file within is incomplete, so something is missing.
Did you get the .ISO file correctly? I don't.

Anyway, thanks to both of you for your efforts and kindness.

Great hug from Brazil

Just installed the game and tested it. Got resolution problems, but the game itself works.

For the 3rd time I've downloaded the files from Mega.
Files: FRFA.r00, FRFA.rar & FRFA.sfv
UnRARed them
I got a folder called "Freedom_Fall-FANiSO" and inside it, files are: fan-frfa.nfo, fan-frfa.r00, fan-frfa.r01, fan-frfa.r02, fan-frfa.r03, fan-frfa.r04, fan-frfa.r05 & fan-frfa.r06.
UnRARed them
And what I got is "fan-frfa.iso -->", meaning it's incomplete.
Unfortunately I don't know how to post a picture to show you.

Anyway, thank you once more

I just grabbed Freedom Fall and it unpacks fine all the way down to the ISO and the sfv checks out with all the crc's being correct according it.

You should try verifying the rar set using the sfv. If one or more doesn't match up then problems are going to occur. The downside is that this can indicate a ram (memory) problem or a problem with the storage device. Especially since you've done it several times now with the same result.

If you don't have a program that will check sfv, QuickSFV is good one even though its old.

There is a file in folder fan-frfa.rar which is the correct one to extract. If you don't get that, then either FRFA.rar or FRFA.r00 didn't download completely. Check them with FRFA.sfv

Hello to everybody is trying to help me with this matter!

I've tested the files and says they are Ok.
Let's see if the size of files I've downloaded match the ones you have:

FRFA.rar = 100.000 KB
FRFA.r00 = 14.387 KB
FRFA.sfv = 1 KB

When FRFA.rar is unRARed shows me the following info:
fan-frfa.rar to fan-frfa.r05 = 14.649 KB, and last,
fan-frfa.r06 = 11.812 KB

Again, when fan-frfa.rar is unRARed, it shows the .ISO file as follows:

fan-frfa.iso --> 134.512.640 (size) 14.999.916 (packed)

maybe I figured out your issue, you're trying to extract the RAR in the same folder, and not extracting to a new folder? because you might accidentally hit Yes to All when a file conflict dialog popped up.

No. I downloaded the files into a Temp folder and then, when unRARed them, it creates another folder into my temp folder.
After that, when I try to unRAR this new ones files, it make it to the original temp folder, but as the names do not match, there is no problem with that.

Anyway, I will try once more...who knows this time all goes right?

Thank you for your patiente and guideliness

Exactly. Have you tried extracting the .iso? Or have you stopped here because it seems incomplete?

In fact, I've stopped because it seemed incomplete.
Anyway, despite my favourite compress utility is WinRAR, despite others like WinACE or 7zip that seem compress better, this time I used 7z to open the last RAR files and GOT IT!!!!!!!!!
After that, I use WinRAR to clear the doubt, and in fact, despite showing the ISO was incomplete, it worked fine too!!!
Never happened to me that kind of thing. I'm thinking about it and have no response to that.

My apologies to everyone who cared with this issue, and my gratitude to all of you.
Sorry to bother you all and took your precious time.

Great hug to all!!!
