calico33 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Been having major problems downloading a Mame Rom Set. Can't unzip it once it is done. Tried doing utorrent, tells me can't open archive. Tried NZB file and can't do that either. Getting frustrated and losing heart. Please help.

neil9000 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Use 7zip, just right click the zip you downloaded in Windows explorer and tell 7zip to extract it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calico33 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 and then it tells me that I cannot open the file as archive. I am confused why I can' extract it or unzip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calico33 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 it was a torrent, think about 54 GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may cause issues. Other than that i can only suggest forcing a recheck on the torrent, apart from that im out of ideas, it could just be a bad torrent, it depends where you got it from.
