I just finished downloading the 4 separate file for PW.
When i run the setup I get this error
CRC failed in 'PW_International\pack1.pck'. File is broken

I need some support on how to fix this. But, i dont want to redownload the file...

I use WinRAR.

    Ryuuzaki has an unofficial but very fast method for fixing corrupt files or incomplete downloads.

    His Alternative Method for Corrupt Files using Direct Download (with a quick tweak for the changes to the installer) can save you a lot of time :
    Rename the Perfect World International.exe file to Perfect_World_International.exe

    Download a bit torrent program, such as uTorrent.
    Download the torrent controller and open it with your torrent program.

    You should then be asked where you want to save the file. Browse to the directory where the original Perfect World International.exe file is located (should be my Documents\Downloads), and click OK. The torrent program should then start checking the integrity of the file and correct any corrupted files. You can also right-click on the file in the download area, and select Force Re-check to make extra sure.

    That method, unfortunately, only works for the single unit files. If there's an error during the multi-part files downloads, your best bet is to redownload them. There are ways to force extraction, but they usually cause more problems than they solve.

    I tried 3 hours to make the file work but it doesnt install. Keeps having error and corrution...
    SO i just deleted all the PWs files...

    Should i download Direct download with 1 file(2.4G)

    Or bit torrent?

    I dont want to mess up the downloads again -_-. I wasted 1 whole day try to do this.

    Is it worth it...

    The MMOFury mirror has the multi-part downloads, and you may have better success there.

    If that's not viable, I'd recommend the torrent method. With a robust torrent client like utorrent, you get automatic error correction and detection, as well as a very strong pause/resume download feature.

    I had this same problem when I DL'ed direct. I'm trying the torrent now. Someone might want to look into fixing the corrupted files and get them situated.

    Getting discurraged before one even gets a chance to play, doesn't bode well for community advancement.
    When life gives you lemons...throw them back at those SOB's!!

    Those files are alright on the server side. Problem is during the download if it gets disrupted due to a connection issue some files will get corrupted.

    Drakarr, please update any WinRAR or 7-zip installations on your machine.

    I downloaded the most current WinRAR and 7 zip...still get a corrupt file via direct download..and via seperate download...

    I tried to use the CD sent to me via PWI..and it even states that Data pck 1, 2, 3, 4 are "Broken" and to redownload the file(s)..but then I endup redownloading files that have already proven to give a corrupt error message..anyother ideas?
