I'm using winrar....what do you think I may be doing wrong. Basically I downloaded the part one file using winrar...then the part two download. I then extracted the part one download to my SD card. Then the part two. As I was extracting the part one download it told me something from the part two download was missing. So I then extracted part two onto the sd card. I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong lol I'm just about to toss it in the trash hahaha. Is there one .zip file that has everything I need? Can or could it be emailed? Then just extract it onto the sd and go?
Try extracting it to your local hard drive first, then copy/move it to your SD Card. Have you tried downloading part two again?
Also, can you clarify what you mean when you say "downloaded the part one file using winrar"? You should be downloading the files to disk prior to opening/running WinRar.
Here's the MD5 hashes to ensure the files were not corrupted as part of the download:
3.0 Update.part1.rar 100% 668efaf567c8a83224b241629cd288c0
3.0 Update.part2.rar 100% 4cc44e1cd265d6381a8da77c5c16cbfb
Also, no it cannot be e-mailed. Most e-mail servers have a limit of 10MB, this file is over 1.5GB in size. FTP or services such as MegaUpload are the only way to go. If you want to wait until early March I can place it on my FTP server once I get my servers in the data center.
