Corrupted Download Files?

Hello, I'm currently using a DHCP setup with a Router and 3 AirPort cards. Recently, I decided to switch from a Linksys to a Netgear router, but since I did i've been noticing images occasionally being garbled up on web pages, or text showing up as gibberish. Whats more troubling is that when I go to download a .zip, .dmg or .tar file, they show up as corrupted. Some of them download just fine, but the ones that don't are corrupted despite the machine or router. I've tried clearing the cache for each browser that I test the downloads on, but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried hooking up my older router and downloading the files using that, but I get the same results. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? For the record, the 3 computers on my network are a G4 Laptop, a G5 iMac and a G5 Quad Core PowerMac, all running 10.4.7. The most recent download that has given me this issue is StuffIt 10.2. Thanks in advance!

Sorry - should have mentioned what program I was using.
Using Safari - r-click and saving the target of links, one after the other. A download pane pops up with some of the files downloading, others queued.
I was downloading from my university course website - basically a bunch of lecture notes. Granted, it's not often you see pages with multiple pdfs.

Corrupted download file : 9i for NT

The second disk file 92010NT_Disk2.zip seems to be corrupted. I get bad src errors when trying to un-zip it. I've re-downloaded it about 5 times now on different browsers and operating systems. I always get the same error.

I have posted your message in the Downloads Issues.
The people who monitor that forum should be able to help you.

Dreamweaver FTP client corrupts downloaded files

Hello,
I am trying to edit a pre-existing website using Dreamweaver. When I download a local copy of certain files using the Get function in the Files menu, the local copy I get has a bunch of garbage inserted into it. The garbage displays on the page as non-standard characters (mostly Chinese or some such). The copy on the server is fine: The site itself displays properly in the browser, and when I use the browser to view the source of the server's copy, it is all fine and problem-free. Infact, if I simply copy and paste that source code and save it in my local copy of the file, the file works fine. I'd rather not have to do this every time I want a fresh copy of a file from the server, though, so I was wondering if someone could tell me what is corrupting the files when I download them using the Get function.
Thank you,
-Nick

Thanks guys.
I downloaded FileZilla. In FileZilla, the problem appears if I download in ASCII, and is fixed when I download in binary. Selecting binary or ASCII is very straightforward in FileZilla.
However, I cannot get the problem to go away in Dreamweaver. I have edited FTPExtensionsMap.txt to dowload html in binary as described, but that doesn't seem to have any effect in Dreamweaver.
I was wondering if there is anything else I have to do to ensure Dreamweaver transfers in binary, or if anyone has any further suggestions.
Thank you,
-Nick

And here we go again with corrupt download files unable to expand

There seems to be a pattern with major updates from Apple and the ability of the servers providing the content - be it iTunes or iOS or Mac OS updates - I have been unale to download sucessfully the larger updates but smaller (22MB for AirPOrt Utility) work fine.
The annoying thing is that in almost all cases the erorr dosen't occur until AFTER the download is complete - meaning it takes up allt he time and bandwidth etc with no result and you have to start all over again.
This has happened to enoguh people and with enough different software releases that I posit that it is NOT the result of any partiucalr configuration of netwokring and or hardware and or firmware and or OS version etc - but that the it is a systemic issue on the provider side of things.
Perhaps they (Apple's content providers) should stagger access or something - by time zone - or Apple should release updates over the course of a week - not all on the same day.
I would much rather get a message that the server is busy try agian later - or have one update a day - and have it work on the first try - that to waste time retrying the same downloads over and over again.

While it is entirely possible taht some combination of DOCIS or firmware etc on the user end is a contirbuting facotr - it is not hard to find numerous reports of exactly what I am talking about along with other similar issues.
I don't recall having this issue before I upgraded to 50Mbps download service - so there could be a connection there. But the "solution" in my case so far has been to just simply keep trying and eventually it works just fine.
I suppose I may have forggotten as they are so few and far between - but in my recollection - the ONLY issues I have had have been with software from Apple - whether downloaded via software update - or the App store - or iTunes - and no where else - on both Mac and Windows (had Apple Software Update fail to get iTunes update a couple times on Windows, but windows is easy to goof up if you have other installers running at the same time).
On the other hand I don't recall too many cases in the past where the downloads were so large as they are nowadays - and certainly the number of users after those downloads has only increased over time.

Anyone else get err=1403 corrupted download file

I've tried downloading 5 times. Every time after the download it validates the 551.4MB file and returns a corrupt file err=1403. Anyone else with this issue and solved it.

I'm on Windows 7 and none of the above things made a difference. One other thing to try, which worked for me was to run iTunes as Administrator.
Exit out of iTunes, if you have it running.
Right-click the iTunes link and select Run as Administrator
Download and install the update
The error message innacurate, since this error apparently also occurs if iTunes can't get the appropriate access to decompress the firmware.
Any Apple support engineers watching this discussion, take note and add it to the big list of things to try when updates fail

Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

Windows says the itunes download file is corrupt and will not install

Im trying to install itunes on my new windows 8 pc. It seems to recognize my software and takes me to a download the 64 bit file (iTunes64Setup.exe). Once the download completes, the file appears in my windows download manager with the message "The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid". If I right click and chose install anyway, I get a message saying that Windows prevented this from running.
I then found the 32bit download file (iTunesSetup.exe). I get the same results as above. Any ideas how to fix this?

I get that all the time with all sorts of programmes. I normally shut down my pc, unplug it, wait for the light to go out on the back, plug back in reboot and it works (with most of my downloads) try this, it might fix it, it might not. I tried this the other day after it kept telling me it was corrupt, then it came down and installed fine. I do this now with every update of every program, if I forget they will all say they have an 'invalid signature' or 'corrupt from source file' etc. Hope this helps you. Also I have to do this before I download music as well, because otherwise it seems to come down with the stupid DRM still on the file, meaning I can't put it on my ipod, convert it or even play it on my system.

I have a corrupted music file. How do I clear it / re-download?

I have a corrupted music file. How do I clear it / re-download?

Same with me. But mine is a video (teh art of flight). It freezes in the middle when I play doesnt matter which device I use to play = on iTunes, iPad 2, iphone 4s = it just freezes in the middle.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem while extracting Windows 8.1. It is good to know that the downloaded file is not corrupted and the problem has been identified. May I ask what is the solution. How do I make these errors go away and start installing windows

Thank you for your co-operation.

How can I get "library components" for Encore? download from Adobe site is corrupted/missing files

How can I get "library components" for Encore? download from Adobe site is corrupted/missing files. I have tried 3 times to d/l and each time problems. HELP please!
I just want the DVD templates and buttons that would come with actual purchase of Encore. Having creative cloud subscription should not limit this for me, right?
BTW I have CC subscription, Windows 7,

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

The download file appears to be corrupted. Please refe
to the Troubleshooting section of the Installation
Instructions on the download page for more information.
Please do not attempt to install this archive file.
I have tried with rmp file, with bin file, and always the same problem !
Sebastien.

Try forcing binary mode when FTPing to the Linux box. My FTP client defaulted to ASCII mode for the .bin file and it was only when I forced it to use binary mode that the .bin file checksummed and extracted correctly.
Hope this helps.

Downloaded file corruption

iBook G4/1.42, 512MB RAM, 10.4.9 on combo update. Machine running absolutely normal before. Been on 10.4.9 for some weeks. No problems whatsoever. Unaltered OS X apps in use. Regularly disk permissioned, cache cleaned, sudo periodic daily/weekly/monthly script in terminal. 21gb free space.
2 days ago, from nowhere, PDFs, image files, MS Word docs and MS Excel docs that come into Mail are seen and detected. It comes up with the correct preview, has the correct size etc. But they won't open. Only Word doc that has opened has been one with no images. So the problem is to do with images, it seems to me.
I thought this may be a Mail.app problem, but I downloaded an image file from my server (via FTP program) and file still corrupt - so it suggests a local problem on my iBook or something seriously wong with the server (other users on PC and Mac report no problems). I also checked the server (Windows I think) for hidden files, nothing strange there.
Image files, pdfs, word and excel docs on the iBook already are fine.
So maybe you can see why I am confused?
I then checked Console and discovered a world of logs that I only part understand - error messages seem to be 'corrupt jpeg data-premature end of data' and 'extraneous bytes before marker'.
The error message on MS Excel files are: "the file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding". Needless to say the xl file is NOT read-only, and the mail service is POP not IMAP.
The MS Word message is: Word cannot open the document. Try one or more of the following: *On the File menu, click Open to open the document. * Make sure the document is a valid Word document. Needless to say it is a valid word document.
Images either don't open in preview, or the window just shows some scrambled stuff at the top.
In all cases, have attempted to open files from Mail or from the desktop.
Although I'm British I travel a bit and this problem has started in China. But I travel here frequently, never had this problem. I'm wondering whether their cyber-curtain is corrupting files.
I sent myself an image from the laptop's hard drive, the e-mail back was corrupted.
Word, XL and image files on the iBook open as normal.
I forwarded an incoming mail with an XL attachment to the UK, they can open it (on Mac and PC). I asked them to zip it and return it. It didn't open.
I've repaired permissions, there were no unusual messages. Have had no power outages or other disk corrupting events.
I looked in HOME/LIBRARY/PERMISSIONS and found 2 lines for Word and Excel. I moved them to desktop and re-opened xl and word. The programs work fine, they made new permissions files. But Mail attachments don't open.
Mail Downloads file has permissions that say I can READ/WRITE.
Any ideas anyone, please?
Sorry to go on so long, have tried to give as much info as possible.

Hi, this is what happened. You'll have to excuse my ignorance, although i thought I knew my way around Macs, actually I have never done this single user mode before. So, I clearly know less than I think! Here goes:
started with apple/s on start-up; got black screen with white words.
Typed in fsck -y. It came back with message that HFS is journaled, had to be fsck -f. (incidentally, in OS X, checking disk in DU, the dialogue says S.M.A.R.T is verified).
Did a fsck -f. Dialogue looks like DU Verify Disk actions. Result was Disk OK, no errors.
Followed instructions for reboot, sh /etc/rc. Dialogue I noted includes IPv6 initialised, default to accept; error 01, error number 65 for MSNS platform send UDP failed to send packet. (this seems like my Firewall settings where all options in 'advanced' pop-up are ticked. I mention this coz the error messages in Console suggest some bytes are either missing or have been added to the files.
Loading in single user mode stops after working bonjour.
re-enter sh /etc/rc, receive message boot cache control - cache failed to initialise. No other obvious failure messages. loading still stops at working bonjour.
re-entering of sh /etc/rc gets a long list of bootstrap commands.
no progress thereafter, just a repeat of the localhost prompt.
In the end, powered down and started, OS X starts as normal.
screen never moved beyond black background white words (similar to MS-DOS prompt in Windows?); is it supposed to load a basic OS X?
What next?!

No clue. Too few info.
