It was an old Cat 4 cable I believe. Now its replaced with Cat 6, and all is good again.

In stef1993's case here, it was clearly demonstrated that Windows Defender was the cause of his downloads getting corrupted. That was and is the bottom line. Even though some people does use or do not like Chrome for any reason, I use and like it, and it works flawlessly for stef1993 and myself, as...

I don't think Chrome was at fault here. Also downloaded something else to test that, and that download came up with no issues whatsoever. It's resolved now, and I'd like to thank you all for the tips and ideas!

For some reason, the .rar files have been corrupt at LM side. Noticed I have a different hash code and different date of zipping for the downloads I did yesterday and today.

Install has gone smoothly, now it's time to test P3D itself

I've redownloaded it again (for the 6th time overall), and now it passes the hash checker.

Unzipped it without any issues. Lets try the install, and I'll report back when installed

Out of 14 hops, I got 1 without a reply. Request timed out.

But would that mean that the download would be corrupt if 1 out of 14 sources times out?

Doing that as we speak.

Download speed is rather slow at 2mb/s. Other downloads are usually around 20mb/s, so I think the server might have a bad connection.

Only running Windows Defender currently.

I've also never run into problems before with Chrome, winRAR or 7zip until now.

I'm left clueless on how to fix it though..

@JorgenSA

Don't think Windows Defender interferes with downloads? I'll try turning it off during the re download and install.

Weird thing is, running the hash checker software, all files come up with wrong hash codes..?

@jorgenSA

Yes sir, I have both unzipped it and ran it as admin.

Even tried winRAR and 7zip, but that doesn't make a difference.

@martyson

What I mean by that is, I've followed the steps outlined in this forum post : https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopi ... 3&t=126465

Hello, I purchased P3D v5 yesterday and was very excited to get it up and running. However.. I've downloaded the full installer, tried installing it, and it gave me; invalid hash key. Following the steps elsewhere on the forum (checking hash key with the Checksum program), no joy. Downloading all fi...
