I've tried to download several files and as soon as I open them to download using WinRAR they show an error saying:
"(file I'm trying to download): Unexpected end of archive."

Then when I try to continue downloading anyway, I get another error message saying:
"The archive is either in unknown format or damaged."

This is for downloads by honorary mentioned as well as normal downloads here on the site. I've also tried to wait a while and come back and try downloading again, but it still comes up with the same error message. This does NOT happen for all downloads, for some unknown reason. But lately its been happening for every download I try to access. I tried re-intsalling WinRAR but that has not helped. Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi Katie,

Are you attempting to download the file and then open it using WinRAR? Or open it directly from the site? (Try downloading first, then open.)

Please post a link to an example that's not working for you, so we can help troubleshoot.

Seriously.

First, thank you for your help! And also that your site is AMAZING and THANK YOU for making it such a fabulous website...anyway, lol

Ok, I'm attempting to download the file and then open it, but just now I tried downloading "morninglight skintone" by enyala, I was able to download coldlight, but once I tried downloading morninglight it gave me the same error message, WinRAR Diagnostic: "(file that I wanted): Unexpected end of archive".

Here's the link:

This sounds like the download is corrupted somehow. This can sometimes happen if there is a lot of traffic on the site- I would suggest to try redownloading the file once more, perhaps at a different time of day.

I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will
