Hi,

Suppose I have downloaded 20 .zip files and 20 (compressed) .exe
files. One file in each is an incomplete, or corrupt, download.

Short of clicking on all 40 files one by one is there any other way to
find the two files that need to be downloaded again please ?

Regards, John.

If I am following your question correctly :
Do the files have MD5 or CRC numbers to verify the file integrity ?
WinRar will do an integrity check for Rar and I suppose zip
files,although I have never used the WinRar checker on Zips...
There's plenty of free MD5 and CRC checkers around......if the site
posted the CRC numbers/ MD5 files...Even Symantec is using MD5 files
to verify their def file downloads......

Try testing them as a group with an antivirus that unzips. With some
you will need to look at the detailed report. With AntiVir, put all
the zips in one folder and then scan the folder if you don't want to
also scan non-zips, then look at the report.

N.B., this assumes the zips are not password protected.
