lomungtung - Am I only one?

[latviankid]

''I suppose many of you pes/we fans knows about this nice server ftp://we:[email protected], which contains the biggest and most comrehensive file collection related to we/pes.
Well, also it would be nice if some of these files were usable. Don't know about you, but almost every rar archive I downloaded no matter, in one piece or a multiple chunks of rar files, they were all corrupted rar archives. And I did dload a lot of them including wendettas, wolfpatch, some other megapatches and modifications for both we int and pes 3 pc. So it's gigabytes of time I wasted on this server with no use. What could be wrong.
Btw, I use reget deluxe for my ftp downloads as it's most reliable and fast manager I've ever used and didn't have roblems, but maybe lomungtung doesn't like it, because it uses multiple channels for one download.''

I's a quote of my post in general pc forum, but it seems quite inactive compare to console forum. Didn't get a single reply, even a one that woul say i'm lame and that noone has this problem except me. Considering that lomungtung server also offers patches for ps2 games I thought this thread fits here too.
I just wan't to know if enyone got similar failures and what might be a problem, because I thought that many of you uses this server to dload patches.
Thank's for attention.

Honestly I never download patches from Lomungtung, most patching teams do have their own webspace.
Mostly I download kits, weditor and other small files from Lomungtung and never had a problem with that. So I am not really the one to talk to about corrupted patches from Lomungtung. Maybe ask Lomungtung if there is something wrong?
Good luck.

I download only PS2 patches from there not PC files, and only when it´s necessary, because most patches are available on normal http servers like GFK said, at least for a few days, but I never had problems with corrupt files.
You may be correct with this part:
"I've ever used and didn't have roblems, but maybe lomungtung doesn't like it, because it uses multiple channels for one download.''
I´m not an expert in these things but multiple connections and all that stuff which makes downloads faster are not allowed on lomungtung. I use Flashget or Cute FTP btw and like I said before, everything works fine.

EDIT: Maybe this helps

Ok, tahnks for your answers. I think i'll try to use other dl manager. I tried to use flashget and some other dl managers on lomungtung once though. Download didn't even start in most cases, connection was too unstable, some errors all the time and most of these apps aren't too keen on resuming interrupted downloads, the thing i like reget for.
Also, if i'm not mistaking, both wendetta and wolf's megapatches aren't awailable on their homepages. They're placed on filefront and i forgot to mention that i did download one of wolf's big multipart patches using reget from there and it was corrupted too. I'm not sure if it's forbidden to use multisource on filefront too though. And if it is, is that some kind of penalty to have corrupted files for doing that? Can't they just close connection?
Yeah, i guess sometimes reget is sacrifying file integrity to get such speed. I'll try to use a singlechannel downloading via FlashFXP or CuteFTP and not to be so greedy and inpatient.
Thank's and enjoy the EURO2004!
