    WoW patch corrupt

    Hi im trying to install the 1.6gb WOW patch (3.x.x - 3.0.2) however when I try to run the update patch I get an error saying that its corrupt. I have installed the game numerous of times and downloaded the patch from various sources. I have also ran the repair tool loads of times I just dont know why this is happening everytime. Im stuck any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it

    "The update could not be applied.
    The file "C:\Users\TraV\Downloads\Rapidshare\WoW-3.2.0-enGB-patch_5.exe" appears to be corrupt. You may need to download this file again.
    To check this installation for problems, click the "Repair" button. The Repair tool can automatically fix many update errors.
    "

    cheers guys

    I have the same experience, you just have to keep download it until it works or just use the official download manager thing.

    They seem extremely fragile, I remember one patch working on one computer, then when I transfer it to another via external hard drive it said it was corrupt. lol

    I would use one of the download links provided by Wowwiki they have worked everytime for me.

    http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_mirrors

    Failing that, you could ask a mate to download the patch for you and burn it to disc / load it on a flash drive.
    Insert signature here.

    Have you tried using the torrent in a proper torrent client? that way you should get some kind of inbuilt integrity check. Also probably worth checking your RAM and hard disk for problems.

    Re: WoW patch corrupt

    Presuming it is actually a problem with downloading the entire file correctly:

    Echoing what was said above, use:
    http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_mirrors#Torrents

    with uTorrent. That way you're guaranteed to get the proper file, as uTorrent will re-download any pieces whose checksum is incorrect. You can look under the Log tab and it will tell you every time you get an incorrect piece.
