Songs cutting off - not corrupt

gebusa · #1 (**permalink**) 07-30-2008, 05:31 PM

I recently downloaded
- Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection Disc 1
- Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection Disc 2

And several tracks of those end prematurely. It's not that they're short. My media player says they're a certain length, but they end before they get there.

Disc 1: #1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 18, 25, 30, 37, 44, 51, 59, 63, 72, 77
Disc 2: #1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 22, 26, 33, 36, 41, 43, 46, 47, 49, 51, 54, 56, 58, 60, 67, 68, 71

They download fine and they're all the filesize the website says they are, but something's wrong with them.

Is anyone able to repair them?

Hey,

I'm having the same problem, on multiple soundtracks to be exact. Whether it's F-Zero, Mario Paint, DDR Extreme or Biohazard 2, every time I try and download a track, it cuts off long before the file is done. For example, Firefox says it's complete but the filesize will be 2.00 MB instead of the 8.00 MB length that the site says. Anyone know of a way to fix this? C'mon and help a n008 out!

I see what you mean. When I downloaded a few of the songs, they downloaded completely but in the song's info it says size is 1335kb and original size is 9302kb. There is really no way that we can fix them since it's the members who upload them. It would take someone who has the original songs to fix them by reuploading them.

Well since you are using Firefox, get DownThemAll! to download the files with.

This happens a lot to me i dont know why,but whith repeated downloads you get the whole song,usually after the second try.I dont know if this helps but i turn of every other window and dont change the page of the download.Nothing to inerfere with the download,(inner thought:like its fragile or something),it works for me at least.

I hate it when that happens. I've gotten that with several album downloads from other sites aswell tho so it seems like its pretty common

This is why I keep telling everyone to use a download manager when downloading large files.
