Where do you go when you need that one file thats missing. I hate it when i have all but one file and i cant extract the data because of that one file.

Well, you could always try emailing Sony... ;)

Try mIRC, newsgroups, Direct Connect...the usual sources.

Also see if the game has Pars so you can recover the Rar you're missing... Just use SmartPar to do so...

Requests, not surprising, go in the request folder at the top.

So in order to replace a missing file, you have to download another file (the PAR) to begin with? I am getting a CRC error when i unpack the 5th file of a game. What is the best thing i should do? the size is the same as the rest of the files. Should i download another 5th file, or do the PAR thing? thanks a lot

it means that your file #5 is corrupt. If you use the sfv file with a checker (ie winsfv or other similar programs) you will get a crc error on that file.

You can try to download the file again, preferrably from a different source, or if you have the PAR files, use one of them to recreate file #5. You will need a PAR program (called Mirror I believe) to recreate this file.
