Groonx Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yes, as comper6 advises, your bad checksum tells you that your downloaded file is not a perfect match with the intended original. Bad checksum = corrupt file = bad download. Actually, Spybot gives you your choice of locations from which to update. Look carefully as it goes through its motions. Bad checksums are common. No worries. Happens all the time. Never proceed with anything that has a bad checksum, because the function exists only to let you know that your copy is not a perfect match. Very useful.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 14, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 14, 2009 Generally the BetaNews FileForum server is good, but still if you keep getting bad checksums just switch to a SaferNetworking.org server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abu aufa Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I think the server overloaded when many users trying to update. Bad Checksum or your connection is poor. Try again later or download DF manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
