I guess you are downloading them without GoG's Downloader then. All i know is that i have never had any real troubles downloading any games from GoG. Sadly i have a friend that have had tons of trouble.

However all he had to do was redownload the game again and it would work.

i have only used the gog download program with gothic 3 because that was over 2gb.
the extras for example crusaders no regret are a few mb, which i just download directly.
i have tried to redownload it like 10 times and it keeps getting corrupt. which is odd because i never had any problems.
There are various different formats and versions of compression software.
Not all compression tools support all formats and all versions.
It may just be that your version of winrar does not like those files.

If re-downloading them does not work then I would try a different compression utility - I use 7zip and have had no problem. You could even try for an updated version of winrar.

Did you try with the GoG downloader?
You can't download extra goodies with GOG downloader.

Point taken.

Anyway i just downloaded the TW sound tracks.
I also used Winrar 3.92
No problem with unpacking or anything.

That is something they should implement, ie. download all files related to a game with one click. Or is there some other way?

Anyway, one reason for me to use http download is because the downloader doesn't appear to work at my work (corporate network) where I'd obviously have more bandwidth for the biggest downloads. (With Steam etc., I can't do even that, it simply will not work in that corporate network).

Hmm... Well just throwing a few ideas out there now (no idea if it will fix it or not):

release and renew your ip. cmd, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew
Restart your router and wait a moment.
Restart your computer.

Other questions:
Have you had these problems before from GoG or have it always been like this?
Never had any problems with games downloaded by the GOG downloader :O
I've downloaded around 6 GB's of games and extras since yesterday morning with no corruptions . . . using Firefox though . . . =)

tried all of that , still not working.

i never had any problems, about 1 1/2 weeks ago i downloaded ultima 7, no problems.
its been since this like yesterday.
It seems that your internet connection causes problems. Use only GOG downloader to download games, can't help you with goodies, though.

Try downloading on your friend's computer (ofcourse somebody from different net connection)
