CRC Errors with downloaded files

[ady0904]

Hello,i have this crc error problem for like 1 month now. When i download archive type files with utorrent (or other clients) i get crc errors while downloading or after downloading when i try to extract the archives. This happens only to large files (3gb+). I used Memtest86 and got no errors,also used windows 7's test for memory errors and got no errors. When i checked my HDD for bad sectors i got 7 bad sectors (HD Tune).I changed my network cable,HDD cable...still the same problem. What can i do?Is it the HDD? Can i still use it?

I will do that eventually...but you dont have any sugestions to try before that?

Other people might, I can't think of any atm though.

Hi

CRC errors can also be caused by a failing hard drive....

Run a hard drive test in DOS... Hirens cd etc...

All the best Brett

Yup, already established that. I would suggest he pop in a linux live cd and download his things to a flash drive and try to extract it there and see if he gets CRC errors.

Should rule out if this problem is being caused by bad sectors or just shoddy downloads.

Torrent is a synonym for Virus.

Runned another virus scan with nod32...deleted all infected foundings and it seems to work fine now.

That's what torrents do they infect computers,because the majority of them are illegal material.
