if your computer crashed and restarted and the file was being downloaded, the file got corrupt and is no longer good. There are ways to fix it but it usually does not work. Dat Repair comes to mind look for it in Google. But if I were you I would just delete the corrupt file and start it over.

Trust me don't base you ideas on Microbloat(I heard this from somewhere) b/c it's just like a kick in the ass.

Thanks for the answewr, I guess dat repair is a program.

The only trouble with deleting is that using a 56 k modem, top get so far takes a while to reach this point. still s**t happens.

I thought from the information in the trouble shootingsecion that if a file gets corrupted, kl deltes it. Anyway thanks for thge response

The file's pieces were 'lost' probably -- you'll probably need to run Scandisk or CheckDisk (if on Win XP) and convert lost allocation units to files.

One or more of them may be pieces of your 'lost' files.
