Freeker Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Why does nothing I download work anymore? No matter how I download music I cannot extract it without the file(s) corrupting. Both Internet Archeive (ZIP, SHN) and "bt.etree.org" and "Sharin in da Groove" bit torrents (FLAC)give "CRC MISMATCH" type errors when extracting....I have no idea whats going on, I've tryed dozens of differnet downloaded shows and they all corrupt. This problem makes no sense to me, please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 That's nasty dude. Try this: 1- Uninstall all your SHN and FLAC software. 2- Reinstall it -> This will clean up virus' that decided to fuck with your tools. 3- If you have XP do Alt+Ctrl+Del and check the processes to see if you have any spyware running on your computer (i.e. processes you don't recoginze that shouldn't really be running in the first place.) 4- Download AdAware. Give your computer an enema with Adaware (it gets rid of all the shit on your system). 5- Defrag your hard drive. My computer has decided to randomly reboot, any suggestions?

That may help with a software error, but certainly wont delete any virus that is associated with the program. The virus can be affecting the program, but it will be running from a different place. To get rid of the virus, obviously run an uptodate virus program. A software corruption is possible but unlikely. If it was the software, you'd have heard it happen to other people...i've never heard of mkw or whatever flac program your running causing invalid decompression. More likely is you have a defraged hard drive, and the files aren't getting written to the hard drive properly. Of course, a virus can easily be screwing with the extraction programs or the music files themselves. Once again, software problem is unlikely, because more than one software failed at once...what are the chances of two programs corrupting at the same time, other than for virus? If you've ran an up to date virus check, and defraged the hard drive being written on, and still are having extraction corruption, then post back... are you behind a router? are you using XP or 98? your problem almost intrigues me (i'm a nerd, i know) ...

secondtube Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 oh, also post the exact error your getting from each program, that may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon. Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 hey steve - what FLAC program are you using? with NERO i always seem to get long (2sec) gaps between songs? any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 quote:Originally posted by jon: hey steve - what FLAC program are you using? with NERO i always seem to get long (2sec) gaps between songs? any help? Is the 2-sec gap happening when you burn to CD? IIRC, in Nero, you have to select every song except the first one to burn, and specify that you want no gap between them. I use the CD burning s/w that came with my computer, and it allows me to say I want the disk burned "DAO" (disk at once, with no gaps), as opposed to "TAO" (track at once, wtih a gap between each song).

secondtube Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 yep, brads correct. i used nero once. saw how gay it is to remove the track splits, so i went back to adaptec. but yes, you have to individually remove the between track mess before you burn using nero. but nero rocks for burning pirated software...

MamaPink Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Defrag for sure... I had the same problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Download and run: Ad Aware and then: Spybot Search & Destroy and then: Install / Update Anti-Virus Software Oh, and I agree: Run a full defrag - If you can get you hands on a better defragmentation tool, like DiskKeeper or something, use that. After you finish all this, it may be time to re-install any apps that are still giving you problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 OK - tried everything suggested, defrag, un/reinstall of progs, still giving errors. for example several .flac files of a show will give this error during extraction: _________________________________________________ flac 1.1.0, Copyright © 2000,2001,2002,2003 Josh Coalson flac comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions. Type `flac' for details. kwCrazyFingersd1t01.flac: 50% completekwCrazyFingersd1t01.flac: *** Got error co de 2:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_FRAME_CRC_MISMATCH kwCrazyFingersd1t01.flac: ERROR while decoding data state = 3:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_FRAME ________________________________________________ *using FLAC frontend 1.7.1 The error i get when extracting .zip files using Winzip 9.0 is something along the same lines "this volume labeled 4xq2we4jj6 should be labeled 2n65huckc5nh6. CRC error, do you wish to delete this file?" Once again, just to reiterate...THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DOWNLOAD FLAC, ZIP, SHN EVERYTHING. TONS OF DIFFERENT SHOWS, SEVERAL DIFFERNT PROGRAMS...I'M LOSING IT! Now I guess all i can do is format the whole fuggin thing and re-partition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 ok, where those files your trying to extract with errors, originally downloading onto the fragmented harddrive? if your have since defragged your harddrive, redownload a show onto your freshly defgraged harddrive and see if it still fails. if it does....ummm, you checked for virus right?

Freeker Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Just tired unzipping a show on the new defragged drive....same problem "Some data in your zip file is damaged. The crc is 7735b4ad but should be 614b2c53" IN a show with 30 files (FLACs)on average about 9 of them give this error. I'm trying to download multiple different fomats right now....will keep you posted. yup, virus scan was clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 quote:Originally posted by secondtube: but yes, you have to individually remove the between track mess before you burn using nero. What nero program is that? I use nero express 5.5.9.9 w/ InCD 3.39.0 and all I have to do is click a button once to remove the gaps.Takes about a half second to click and goes to the burn stage. Not that it matters I am just curious,once I get a new tape deck and my turntable fixed I will be using adeptec for the transition between tracks option,but adeptec seems to get more coasters here then withthe nero program I have.

Freeker Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 really, I'm using nero 6 and it stil forces me to remove the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
