Didn't know where to report broken links/corrupt files so I figured a new topic would do. f you come across any broken links and or corrupted files, report them here. Smiley

I found that Mean Machines 4 is a corrupted file. I donwloaded it twice to confirm.

Very good idea to do this!

I'll re-up the file right away and post when it's fixed.

The file has been uploaded so it should work again.
If the link redirects to the old deleted like it's probably a cache issue, so the direct link is here.

All my files have been remastered as well so they are even closer to the original magazines.
What I did for most of them is lower the saturation a bit which lowers some of the warmer tones, but also brings back some of the detail that was lost by overexposing them in the first place.
It's all about balance in the end.

If you've downloaded the files from Filesonic, you should have the latest versions without any doubt.
To check for yourself, you can always look at the final page in each magazine. If it has the old generic page at the end, you might want to download the newest version which should have the personalized and redesigned final page which suits each issue on an individual basis.

Note that this only applies to the scans I've done personally since those adjustments were done by me as well.
For a list of those files, you can check my progress thread.

That's normal. Wink

Due to the implementation of the new iDevice versions, I also changed the last page of each magazine. It now states which version you're reading as well.
So try clicking on the link on the catalogue page of the magazine. Wink

Just downloaded the latest CVG (#173). Seems to be corrupted as well.

Have you had other people mention any issues?

Just checked it myself and it downloaded and unzipped without any trouble.
You are talking about the high resolution version, right?

Could it be that the connection dropped before you downloaded the file fully?
It should be nearly 197MB on disk, although my download manager states 188MB. Bit weird.
