I tried using 7zip, but that gave me a message saying 'An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file' and would also not let me extract. It worked fine 2 days ago, but I am just starting to see this now. I cannot use anything inside a newly downloaded zip/rar file anymore. Even after trying to repair it using the WinRar repair, it will recover a few files, but I still can't extract anything because it tells me that the file is corrupt.
Then, when I try to open the file, I'm greeted always (no matter the file) with 'Unexpected End of Archive'.
Although it supposedly just stops there, without seeing the number of mbs downloaded go up, the download will complete. For example, I'll be downloading a 23 mb file at 3mb/s, but chrome will stop downloading and instead of saying 'Opening in _ seconds', it'll say 'Opening when complete', and the download will be at 22 mbs, with a 0kb/s speed.
However, when I try to download anything above that, chrome will stop downloading for a second. Whenever I download a rar or zip file that is anything from 1-5 mbs, it downloads fully, and there are no problems.
