View Full Version : MiamiDX - MUI archive corrupt

I've downloaded the MUI GUI-module for MiamiDX from three different Aminet servers, plus from here (I'm certain it's on the FTP as well, if not, defo from the Aminet archives) but every single one of them seems to be corrupt in some way.

Any help?

It's the one(s) called "MiamiDX10c_mui.lha" if that's any more helpful for people to look around in their own archives?

No problem with this one:

Downloading with the PC.

Unpacking with the following:

1: WinUAE -> lha x miamidx10c_mui RAM:
2: PC/Windows -> unpacking with TotalCommander and LHA
3: PC/Linux -> unpacking with commandline LHA
4: Transferring to real Amiga with Amiga Explorer, then on Amiga same as WinUAE

All results in a "skipping erroenous data, 0 files extracted" error

Try unpacking with WinRAR on the PC.

Prowler, your copy unpacked perfectly using the TotalCommander approach... no need to use WinRAR :D

Leaves me to think that the Aminet archives are corrupted in some way, though

And yet, I downloaded my copy from here:
http://aminet.net/comm/tcp/MiamiDx10c-MUI.lha

and another from here:
ftp://128.237.157.9/aminet/comm/tcp/MiamiDx10c-MUI.lha

...which is identical! :confused

That's the weirdest thing, though...

Anyways:

Unpacked on the PC with TotalCommander, transferred with AExplorer to amiga, installed MiamiDX, ran "MiamiInit" connected Miami to 'net, loaded IBrowse (fromAmigaSys for AGA) and loaded three websites perfectly.... will have a look tomorrow if I can also connect AExplorer with TCP/Miami to get a teeny bit better transfer speed than 115200 NULL-modem.

Just seems incredibly weird that I've downloaded from MAIN archive, SUNet, and also a third Aminet-mirror, all having the same transfer problem, especially since you've downloaded the exact same archive and it's no problem whatsoever.... must be something in my connection that corrupted them alll then, only answer I can see right now. Because I downloaded the last one (just before I posted here) lie 5 minutes beforehand, and it was corrupted.... strangeness, indeed :/
