Hello, I have downloaded the free expansion pack for DSF Symphonic Strings a few different times now and each time once I start the install it fails and says the file is corrupt. I have downloaded to two separate computers using two different internet connections and nothing seems to work. I have also used win zip and 7zip to extract the download. For what it is worth....I have had the exact same problem with beatscape since it came out (which was originally also on my older, now retired computer) and have therefore never been able to install and use it. No problems with the other downloads.... Thanks!

Dude, you gotta call/email support about that stuff. That would make me very upset if it were me. I haven't seen any other similar complaints about this though so maybe tech support can help you pinpoint the issue. Good luck.

Use a download manager - that's my advice.  Something like Free Download Manager works well, and you are far more likely to get a complete, un-corrupted download.

I downloaded it day before yesterday and it was fine. Already using it. Maybe they changed something. Wasn't much traffic when I did either.
Hope they get you straightened out

My download froze on 2 separate attempts. My guess is it didn't fully download and is showing as corrupt. I had to disable my antivirus (Microsoft security essentials), downloaded the file and installed it then reenabled mse. 
Also fwiw 7zip worked fine once I got the whole file

Yeah,I downloaded it the first day too,and all fine,the sounds are pretty good though I find it a little hard to fathom the value of $149 for it though?

Yeah it could be that your internet connection loses it for a second and things screw up.


+1 to getting a download manager to ensure you get a good, clean download. Just do a search for 'Download Manager' for your browser and you'll find plenty of free ones.

I had downloaded DSF strings and installed OK. I think your internet connection was interrupted and messed up your download.

again, +1 for getting a download manager. I had used this before for huge download + 1 Gid.
Try this http://download.cnet.com/iGetter/3000-2071_4-10435092.html.

Let me know if this help.

I've never had a problem downloading with FireFox but I think it has an internal download manager thingy. I could be wrong on that though... but really it has always worked. Cheers.

D/Ld the strings pack no probs. In fact, like the poster above, I use FF and have never had any probs downloading from CW. Best of luck.
