Will try.

Weird, I had the same problem (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=294) but it started working when I downloaded the zip file. My interned speed then was about 2 megs..

Theoretic slow internet speed can't corrupt a file.
Can you do a MD5 hash check? A hash check calculate a 'hash' from a file, And if the hash the same as below, the file isn't corrupt. Filenames make not matter!

My MD5 hash of 'Beta39.msi': (expired)
My MD5 hash of 'Beta39.zip': (expired)

1. Download first this file: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/841290
2. Run the *.exe file and extract the files to the same map where MetroSim39 (eg. download folder) is located.
3. Go to the map where MetroSim is located in Windows Explorer and press [Shift]+[Right click] en click on 'Open command window here'.
4. Type 'fciv.exe [filename of metrosim incl. file extension like .zip or .msi] -MD5'
Your computer now calculating the hash. If it finished, compare it whit the hashes above it.

The game is working now. All I had to do was restart my computer, and then when I downloaded it again it worked no problem :)

Well, if someone has a slow internet, you can nowadays assume that he might also have a bad connection. Therefore, the chance of reconnects or general packet-loss is higher. Because of that, the percentage of corrupted / aborted downloads will increase with the size of the desired file.
But yes, in theory the speed has nothing to do with the "quality".

I had the same problem before, all zip or rar files that I tried to download were corrupted or damaged. All I had to do was to download them in safe mode and everything worked just fine :)
