Is anyone else having any problems getting this RAR file to decompress?

I'm not sure if its a problem with my computer or the file.


It keeps telling me that the file is corrupted?


Looks like a big mix too, Help!

 

[dawnchairy]

Me too! But I did get the cover.

 

[droid]

Hmmm... i downloaded and the extracted it to test it and it semed to work. Ill re-compress it now - just to be sure.

thanks btw!

 

[boomnoise]

[droid]

OK - Ive recompressed and reupped it now - works fine for me. Any more problems, just giz a shout and Ill see what I can do.

 

[droid]

Is this alright now people?

 

[Grievous Angel]

Works fine for me on OSX.

WICKED mix. Really cheezy first riddim but effective --and the rest of it -- OH MY GOD!!

Droid raising the bar.

And a BIG step forward from volume one. Well worth listening (and re-;listening) to.

ChinaTown is just a MASSIVE riddim!

 

[Diggedy Derek]

Downloading now- definitely looking forward to it after the first one.

Any opinions people? Over 100 downloads and no comments!

Not an encouraging state of affairs...

he kept screaming for me to turn the volume up

probably not the demographic you were aiming for but one 7yr old and his dad love it

The mighty Droid upping the ante once more with an absolutely top-a-top mix, been rocking this one a lot lately. Some great vibes on here (the closing minutes are nothing if not sublime!).
Greatly appreciated!

Wicked so far and getting better and better...

yeah, downloaded this before christmas and listened to it repeatedly, for example in the car to and from the hideous office party, on christmas eve after the kids went to bed, on headphones while battling the hangover walking down deserted country lanes on new years day and your latest -skankingwiththedroid091002. really brightened up "the worst day of the year" (Irish Independent 3/1/06).
