Time for DataNumen Zip Repair to prove its worth.

I extracted the contents to a folder anyway.

The testing process was the same and Windows Explorer wouldn't open it.ħzip did but said that the archive had errors. The only extra step I had to do was to rename the incomplete download from. I downloaded a copy of my Wallpaper's collection from my Dropbox, and switched off the Wi-Fi before it could finish downloading. So all I had to do was download a zip and disable the internet midway through. We download files all the time, sometimes the download may get interrupted, and we end up with a corrupted file. Unfortunately DataNumen Zip Repair wasn't able to recover it either. The ZIP file is ruined.ħzip and Windows Explorer's archiver wouldn't open the file. The oldest trick in the book is just to create a new archive and open it in notepad to add something to it. Since I didn't have a corrupted ZIP archive handy (I usually delete them), I decided to create one.
