    I rarely run into these problems. downloaded some videos of a series split in 8 parts. They had 2 mirrors, and each one, I downloaded just to be safe and came out to be the same totals in size and slices.

    Oddly, I had this error in 3 out of the 6 chapters to this series. I was able to play the files, and checked at the very beginning and the very end to see if there was any problem with the player or video playing, and to see if the ending credits got cut off or something and it appears complete to me, but I dont' know why I got those errors.

    I'm using 7zip, so I don't see a repair option for fixing these RAR files.

    I suppose some would say if it works, then just ignore it, but I'm picky with these being collections, and it just seems strange to get only half of them with these errors, even though the end result is that they all play.

    What causes this? What does it mean? How do you fix it?

    Does that risk losing anything compared to getting another download set by a different uploader or author somewhere else?

    What does it mean "file is broken"?

    It means "Don't steal BBC copyright material".
