WinAce FAQ

I keep getting CRC errors when trying to extract a file. What can I do?

There are several reasons why WinAce could report a CRC (checksum) error. Generally this means that the file could not be extracted correctly because the data within the archive has been corrupted. This can happen during the transfer over the internet if the connection is unstable or more downloads are performed at once.

You can always try to repair the archive (Ctrl-P), but if this fails, we recommend to download the file again.

Another common reason for a reported CRC error is a full target drive. Please make sure that there is enough free disk space on the drive you want to extract your files to.
