Hi,

 

I downloaded files

03/06/2007 11:52    548,974,564 ProTeXt-2.0.exe  03/06/2007 11:52             50 ProTeXt-2.0.exe.md5  02/11/2007 06:29             15 protext.exe  02/11/2007 06:29             19 protext.exe.md5  

 

from ftp site ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/mirror/ctan/systems/windows/protext/

 

but using neither < A href="">ProTeXt-2.0.exe nor protext.exe , I can't install MiKTeX at first...

 

When extracting those .rar archive files, always these problems occuring according to install log:

 

Extracting MiKTeX/tm/packages/latex2e-help-texinfo.cab
MiKTeX/tm/packages/latex2e-help-texinfo.cab
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Extracting MiKTeX/tm/packages/latexdiff.tar.bz2
Extracting MiKTeX/tm/packages/latexfonts.cab

.

 

and after while i am trying to install MiKTeX after rar file extracted, it says md5 c hecksum mismatch occurred.

 

Log is like this:

  314a6d2d3cf3bd7f1e72d9186ac77ce3 (actual MD5 checksum)

This can be the result of a failed download operation. Another reason might be that the local package database is outdated.

Can anyone please help me understand what is the problem?

Are the files I downloaded corrupted or something or anyone else having same error?

 

Thank you in advance.
