File trouble

[bgstmetfan]

I cant download in game. I have an online league, but I can't download it. I get a message that says error: cant get file information. I try downloading it from the website, but it doesnt open properly. I get these messages:

! C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar: CRC failed in major_league_dreams_2006.lg. The file is corrupt

C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar.gz: CRC failed in C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar.gz. The file is corrupt

! C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar.gz: CRC failed in C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar.gz. The file is corrupt

Are any other owners having trouble? The message makes it sound to me that the file actually is corrupt.

no one else is having trouble. i also cannot download in any of my online leagues. yes, it is the latest version of ootp, as of a couple weeks ago

[bgstmetfan]

though now that im trying to extract the file manually into the game folder, its saying:

! C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar.gz: CRC failed in C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar.gz. The file is corrupt

and remember, loading the file in game never works

tried extracting files outside of ootp and then adding them into the game folders manually, and that didnt work
i will not delete the game files altogether b/c then i will not have any game info

C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\major_league_dreams_2006.lg .tar.gz

This may be way off, but does that space after the .lg and before .tar appear in the actual league file you're downloading? I'm not used to seeing that format. It just doesn't look like a proper filename. Maybe?

[bgstmetfan]

there is no space when I'm downloading it.

hey, where are the developers of the game, or the tech guys?? HELP ME!!!

When I have issues d/l and extracting, the whole folder that I downloaded doesn't have the same # of files in it. It is always the correct size compared to files that other people have and that are working. But when I open it up to unzip it, files are missing.

You downloaded file is definitely damaged.
This could be caused by a bad internet connection, or a problem with your hardware. A friend of mine worked several months with a computer which frequently had problems when writing and reading data to or from his harddisk. Obviously the harddisk was damaged, so we changed it, but the problem still existed. Finally he used a hardware testing program and found that a damaged RAM modul was the problem...
BTT You should try to download the file using another program, like an FTP client, or just using the browser. You just need to know the address of the file (ask the commish) and type it into the browser, and select "Save As". Once it's downloaded, use TUGZip (->google) to uncompress it and see whether that works.
