Many Broken Archives
« on: April 24, 2010, 06:30:44 PM »

I have many comics downloaded from this site and have never had any problems. I downloaded a bunch of different ones today and every one of them says "broken archive". Is this some sort of glitch? Seems odd. The books I downloaded are -
Ghost Comics #6
Air fighters V2 #2 & #7
Air Boy vol4 #8
Exciting comics #9
Exciting comics #14
Face #2
Lady Luck #90
Ranger Comics #14

What did you use in your attempt to open them?

It is odd that you have so many, but it could be a combination of anything.

When all else fails, I use IZArc to pull the individual pages out of the file and then read it through CDisplay.

I use CDisplay. Like I said, all my previous downloads are fine ( I have a lot of them). I just save them to a folder and view them later. I may try a couple again and see what happens. If I download a few at the same time, could that cause them to not work correctly?

Always download one file at a time. Doing otherwise can create doors for Loki to step through!  ;D

Remember, you can unzip the files with IZArc or FilZip into a new folder and still use CDisplay to view them.

Sometimes it is a matter of if the files were created on a mac or a pc.

Keep us informed if you need any other help.
