just installing and seems 1 file is corrupt (nothing major , one of the SI samples)  . is there checksums or some way to perhaps know the problematic file ?

let me guess----> SONAR X2 Producer.Part1

the only other thing I thought was when I install 64 bit.. just put the files in the folder 1 by 1 and see if it asks for them , then I'll know exactly. 

As I said, it's only one WAV file from SI , so not a biggy, but if it's happened to others = rock the bandwidth 

   

Checksums would be nice.  IMO they ought to be a given for any large download. 
 
That said, after getting burned with a corrupt download that took all night to get, I installed the free DownThemAll DL manager addin for Firefox, and have not had a single bad download since.  (Any reputable DL manager will do, as it compares the checksums for you).
 

I told them todo cheksums yrs ago.. but no !

and cakewalks own info is wrong / misleading *IF* you have say 32 bit installed and try to do the 64 bit install .. it won't install part 2+ on it's own (given that part 1 was just installed) , as per their info on the support page.. 
    

 it asks for the previous file.. which makes finding a problematic file more "fun"

+1 on the checksum request. Dowloading these files repeatedly because we don't know which ones are corrupt is getting old. I've been at it for over 3 hours now and still can't finish the extraction.

They recommend using a download manager if you're using IE. 

I have just finished downloading the first few files and these are the MD5 checksums I got.
I have not installed yet, but the download seemed to go fine.

We ran checksums when uploading everything and of course tested the integrity of all files. If any corruption is happening, it sounds like it would be on the download side of things.

Here are the official MD5 checksums for the files hosted for download that you can use for comparison:
