I download a lot of files from Rapid Share. They are all Win RAR archives (.rar files) and they are all movies. They decompress into the .avi file format. But recently 90% of all the RAR files I have downloaded are corrupt. Why? And more importantly how can I fix this.
 
i dont think there is anything you can do its most probably other people's uploads
 
that's easy. illegally produced copies tend to be bad quality.

you could go and buy the actual DVD, and get a much higher quality copy, and you don't have to decompress anything.
 
Disable all programs running in the background (antivirus, etc). I had tons of "corrupt archive" errors on a stressed computer, if I disabled everything it would run fine. Both compressing and decompressing. Seems to be a bug in WinRAR.
