Added, thanks.

FYI - In the future, please include links to the mod. Took some hunting for me to find them.

Hello fellows,

I´m new to this fórum, although I´ve been playing SOW for a long time. I have a question regarding the Pea Ridge and Red River Campaign Mods. I´ve been trying to download the mods I just mentioned before, but there is a sign that says that the archive is corrupt. Somebody have a new link in order to get those mods???

Sorry about my english, I now its horrible, but I hope you understand the overall situation. :(


Regards,
Gran Capitán

It might be something wrong with the server, as other people had the same problem recently.

Try it again. I just downloaded Pea Ridge (speed was really fast actually) and it installed with no issues.

Thank you for your feedback. I tried to download again, and this message appear in my screen:

Error
---------------------------
C:\Users\VDELOINETT\Desktop\SOW MODS\Red_River_Campaign_1864.7z
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
---------------------------

I have WinRar. I do not know what is the problem, I downloaded al the others Mods, but only Pea Ridge and Red River have problems.

These files are unzipped by the app 7zip...
It's free, safe, and more efficient for zipping large files.

RebBugler - regarding Victor's post I have Winrar and it can uncompress 7z files. I installed Pea Ridge and the RRC mod using it, and use it all the time on other sites and many 7z files. You don't need the .7z application to open them, so there is no need to suggest to a user that he needs to download more software first.

In the last few weeks our MP group has noticed several people are unable to access some of the files on the NSD server - although after multiple attempts they can usually get the file to download - we had people with this very issue on Sunday evening UK time - so it does appear to be more likely to be a server side issue.

EDIT: To check I just tested this. I get a corrupt file error from Winrar as well, although Winrar has no trouble working with .7z files usually. The Pea Ridge archive was 49,513 Kb.

I downloaded the RRC file on 2 Nov 2013 and it opens just fine. Size 95,456 Kb.

Yes, I just downloaded RRC with no issues. Another player reported they had problems too, kept failing at 23%...

I'm not sure what to tell you if I can't re-create the problem. Downloads very fast/smooth for me.. :(
