RAX200-V1.0.5.126_1.0.65 bad zip

I've downloaded this 3 times and win zip, 7zip and winrar all report a bad zip file.

  • Re downloaded today and everything unzipped. Old downloads still bad.

    It must have been something with the ISP.

       Worked for me.

       What are the name and size of your "a bad zip file"?

  • Win rar

           Or anything else which touched the data.

         

           And now we can see why zip archives include basic checksums, allowing
        a simple data-integrity check.  And one reason that organizations like
        Netgear distribute such files in such archives.  (Clearly, the slight
        compression was, by itself, not worth the bother.)
