How to Fix CRC Errors in Easynews Zip Manager
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) errors in Easynews Zip Manager typically indicate that an archive was damaged during transfer. These issues are not caused by article corruption on Usenet but usually result from problems during transfer to your device.
Common Causes of CRC Errors
-
Interruptions During Transfer
Network instability or browser timeouts can interrupt transfers, especially when accessing large groups of articles through the Web interface. -
Corrupt Archive Creation
If Zip Manager creates a compressed archive but the connection drops midway, the resulting archive may be incomplete or unreadable. -
Antivirus or Security Software Interference
Overly aggressive antivirus or firewall settings may disrupt transfers, leading to corrupt archives. -
Browser Extensions or Settings
Certain extensions or browser configurations may interfere with Zip Manager's ability to properly transfer archives. -
Removed from Zip Queue
When a file becomes unavailable due to retention limit or Terms of Service violations, it's also removed from all zip queues. If you are downloading the zip file at the moment this occurs, this can corrupt the zip file.
Recommended Fixes
-
Use a Stable Internet Connection
Ensure that your connection is stable and fast enough to support the transfer of large archives. -
Switch Browsers or Disable Extensions
Try using a different Web browser or temporarily disable extensions that could interfere with the Zip Manager. -
Clear the Archive and Rebuild
In your Easynews Zip Manager, clear the archive and reselect the articles you want to access. Then rebuild the archive and attempt the transfer again. -
Check Antivirus or Firewall Settings
If you're using security software, consider adjusting settings or temporarily disabling it to test if it’s causing the issue. -
Use the HTTPS Interface
Access Easynews through the HTTPS version of the site to help stabilize the connection and prevent transfer interruptions.
