Hello Johnny7 Welcome aboard. 

 

It is the first time that happens to you? Have you tried retry? Your system decompresses 7z? Have you tried other versions of Pioneer before?

Which download did you try? The one direct from the website named: "pioneer-20140315-win32.7z"?

 

Also as Walterar asked are you using 7-zip? It's a free program and very popular these days.

Ok well can I suggest that you try using 7-zip since it is compressed using 7-zip and someone might have accidentally changed the settings to something that WinRAR cannot decompress. 7-zip is free this won't cost anything.

 

Also what was the version you downloaded? It might have just been that one that was corrupt, or have you tried several versions?

 

They decompress just fine for me and no-one has mentioned having a problem.

For the record:

I had the exact same sort of problem for quite some time - usually took multiple retries to download uncorrupted file.

I don't know what it was for sure, but it went away coinciding with me moving my USB wi-fi adapter to the front of my rig where it no longer overheats.
