Re: Can't extract files after download

No, as the title says I can't even extract the files, example
```Archive: Demon's Souls (USA)_1.zip
warning [Demon's Souls (USA)_1.zip]: 2038797393 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
error [Demon's Souls (USA)_1.zip]: start of central directory not found;
zipfile corrupt.
(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
```
if the files are guaranteed to be correct, then it's either a connection issue on my side even though (I get 100% complete download), or a server side issue, also downloads aren't in consistent speed they keep slowing down to 200KB/s even though I have a rather fast connection.
Is the file intact or is it just a checksum mismatch? The checksums listed on those pages are based on Redump data, however Vimm converts the files from pure ISOs into more compact formats to maximize storage space and to make downloading more convenient. I do think it would be better for checksums to be based on the final files so users can ensure the download didn't get corrupted, but the files should still be the real deal so long as you aren't getting any errors unzipping.
