Title: Newicons46.lha corrupted on aminet
Post by: hamtronix on December 16, 2007, 05:52:36 PM

here is the link:

http://aminet.net/search?query=newicons&sort=name&ord=DESC&start=100

if someone could download newicons46.lha to their amiga and try to unarchive it to let me know if it is corrupted or not. I get a problem on the 21st file and it quits...

and I just downloaded it from their site and go the same error.

error on file 'newicon.h' : i/o error
warning skipping corrupt/extraneous data

Not tried on an Amiga, but I also get an error when unarchiving that file using Stuffit Expander on my Mac, so it does indeed appear to be corrupt. Have you tried downloading it from a different mirror?

I just did a quick format of the DD disk I was using on the Amiga (not on the PC as I had done earlier) and not the file I downloaded the the main NEWICONS website seems to be fine... Dont know why but maybe the Amiga Quickformat adjusted the disk enough to allow a copy correctly...

Well it tested OK on disk but when I copied to my Amiga it gave me the same error.... Grrr

So I just left it on disk and sent the final to my CF HD... It worked...

Works fine here. What version of LhA are you using?

 Don't use the "last" version of lha for dearchiving big files. It is buggy!

 Prefer the old, trusty 1.38 version instead.

Early versions of the 2.x branch were reported to have that bug, but I thought it had been corrected with the latest releases (2.12)?

Wait a minute...

Are you saying that the archive tested okay when on a floppy but after being copied to your `hard disk,' the copy was corrupt?  If that's what happened then your MaxTransfer size could be too large.

Yep. That appeared to be the case. Should I check it out in HDToolbox and adjust to 65xxx ?

I would first try 0x1FE00 and if the archive still becomes corrupt when copied then lower it to 0xFE00


Edit:  And yeah, that's in HDToolBox.
