    Well, it's a tarball so it should extract all the uncorrupt files in any case. Other than that, did you use the torrent or direct download? The torrent will help you get a consistent archive due to hash checks.

    do you have latest winrar winrar already suport new compression rar5
    7zip not change its still lzma2 but with crc check
    listen admin hash can be changed i was write about it long time ago see my posts
    also important what downloader you use and your HDD defragmentation often its breaks because
    file is throwen in pieces on disk and when is compled one part can be corrupt
    use torrent will be best choice

    im user of tixati and idman
    sometimes utorrent and browser(Mozilla)
    i hope archive have percent of recovery option in winrar
    tarballl (tar and bzip also tar.xz ) are formats used in linux right???
    best way will be add all in recovery mode for fix archive error
    pastathehoagie update your winrar to latest and 7zip to latest both can open rar but only winrar can add recovery mode

    just wondering is the MAME CHD.161 still being seeded?

    Yes, it's a webseed so technically it's always being seeded.

    oh cause it says 16 weeks till file downloaded so i figured it's probably not, guess it'll just take 4 months to complete

    You need to leave it running for a while and it should speed up.
