Why are all my rar downloads corrupt?

[gary123]

I used to have no problems downloading. Now almost every RAR file I download is corrupt. Even small rars. Some of them are fixed by RAR repair, a lot aren't.

I downloaded a more recent version of winrar, it didn't help.

What do you think is causing this? How can I fix this?

I sometimes have problems with files that have been zipped on Unix and unzipped on Windows. Could it be due to that?

And to add to this...

If your internet connectivity is fine(that's another issue) there are several situations that can cause this.
-It could be a server side issue. Try using a mirror site.
-Check your firewall settings
-Clean up your temp files and defrag while your at it(always run chkdsk before defrag)
