Hi Solkap, I, too, can’t get part01 of the ROTJ MKV; FreeRapidDownloader keeps showing that one part as an error when it tries to retrieve it from uloz and I’d love a PM about an alternate way to get that file; thank you!

Additionally, I hope someone can help me here in getting me a full set of files for ESB and ROTJ (MKV preferably) that validate the checksum when trying to extract. I have an extremely stable connection and I’m very familar with multipart rars and downloaders (I go back to when usenet was about the only way to get things and everything there is multipart rars). All of the rar parts pull down at the same byte size (524,288,000 which is 500MB; Uloz shows as 524MB because they are counting 1 million bytes as a MB, like hard drive manufacturers) but when testing or extracting with winRAR or 7-Zip the three multipart sets I’ve tried all fail CRC checks.

If I ignore the errors and extract anyway, the MD5 of the extracted ESB MKV is not the 1E34…FCE value it is supposed to be. I tried to pull down the files it said were bad and then it said different files are corrupt. After doing this for 12 files (and that took forever with the slow Uloz speeds), I decided to see what happens if I just run multiple tests in a row on the multipart set.

Each time I run the test, WinRAR reports different files have checksum errors. Check out 4 consecutive runs of the tests (I shortened the file names of the parts for the forum here) on the same fileset; no changes between each test.

part01.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt
part04.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt

part08.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt
part34.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt
 
part07.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt
part35.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt

part09.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt
part24.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt
part39.rar: Packed data checksum error in ESB v2.0...mkv. The volume is corrupt

All of them are the exact same size stated above and match what I’ve seen other people indicate their files are.

There’s no list of the MD5 for each rar part that I could find, so I’m not sure which files really are broken.

I’ve had this same experience now with the MKV of ESB, the AVCHD of ESB, and the AVCHD of ROTJ. I assume if I get part01 of the MKV for ROTJ I’d have the same problem with that.

Does anyone have any par2 (http://www.quickpar.org.uk/) file sets for the MKVs or would be able to make a good sized set and put them on mega / anywhere else and send me a PM with the link? It’d make it a lot easier to download a par2 repair set as opposed to burning up tons of my monthly download cap trying to get the files from uloz over and over again.

I am using the password directly listed on the “Multipart RAR Download Links” page, last updated by HanDuet on 12-17-2017. I tried typing it, pasting it, copying it to a notepad and pasting it. None of that helped.

I’m trying to show my kids the original trilogy for their first time I don’t want to watch the special editions for that. I have Harmy’s ANH 2.5 and going from that to my old trilogy VHS tapes for ESB is a huge drop in awesomeness; VHS copies do not make for a great viewing experience these days 😉

After this is resolved, I’d like to grab the custom blu-ray Solkap so kindly is providing access to, but I want to make use of the 50GB of data I’ve already downloaded first…

Thanks for any and all help!
