I tried downloading a world for terraria with curseforge and mediafire. Both options turned into a winrar file and when i try and open them they say the archive is either unknown format or damaged. Please tell me how to fix this. Ive tried using 3rd party zip such as 7zip and none have worked so far.

Mod edit: OS = Windows 10

Moving thread from Apps and Software to PC Gaming.

More applicable category and likely the issues can be more appropriately addressed by the PC Gaming Community with respect to mods etc..
I don't think you can. The one who created the file must fix it.
well it’s with almost every single winrar file i try and download that has a zip file in it. i can open the winrar but i cannot get to the actual zip files or anything.
