tyreil829 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 this perhaps isn't the right place but its just a bit of feedback 99% of the downloads i get off the nexus either are cut in half or showing as nothing in them i have tried all sorts of browsers and sky,virgin and Ticscail broadband since i move to different places ( every 9 months) i am wondering if this has happened to anyone else and the nexus before Col John Sheppard Note: if this is in the wrong place i ask you to move to the right place and accept my apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have had similar problems in the past... downloading .zip files which turned out to be 0kb, and unopenable, or 7zip files which refuse to open at all... I'm not sure what the problem is, but it is quite annoying, and surprisingly frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreil829 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 i use WinRAR and sometimes 7Zip ( one or the other) and it always shows either half or 0 the problem hasn't happened in a while ( count back 2 weeks) anyone else had this problem?

LHammonds Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 When you get 0kb download files for old / ancient files, it might be a broken download that is no longer available. I recommend trying all the file mirrors to see if one works. If there is no way to download it, report the file so we can see if anyone has the archive for us to re-upload. If the file is from a new upload, it might be because the upload is only placed on the primary server and only gets copied to the other mirror servers when the 1st person makes the request of that server. The files should get synchronized each night if there are no problems but if the 1st person starts the download and cancels it immediately while the file is being copied from server-to-server, it might not work at all for that server until the nightly sync. Regarding files that download to a certain percentage and then stops, it might be one of many possible issues. The following list is what I have seen personally in the last couple of weeks:Virus on the client PC that causes download interruptions. Solution: Update or replace virus software and scan to find and remove the virus.DSL or Cable modem hardware problem. Solution: Have your ISP replace your modem.File Mirror problem. Solution: Dark0ne forces a manual sync or replaces a problematic server with a new one.LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamerbird Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have problems like this. When I download some files, then go to extract them it says 'no archives found'! This really annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You should probably use the "least busy server" which is closest to you geographically. Since London is never that busy, I don't know why you wouldn't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
