I downloaded two of the new uploads 1080h.lha, and crack.lha among others, however these two appear to be corrupted. I believe I have the newest versions of the archivers, so if anyone else can unarchive these two files I would be interested in knowing what program and version they used.

Nathan, Did you use the LhA version 1.38? You can find a selfextracting version of it in library 16: LHA138.RUN

Both of the files you mentioned, 1080H.LHA and CRACK.LHA, are intact, and are not corrupted.

Nathan – What is the terminal software you use ? – What is the transfer protocol ? CompuServeB ? XModem ? This may be the cause of the problem… File transfers are rarely corrupted, even XModem will usually do, although it'll slow down a whole lot if it starts getting bogged down with errors.. Murray
