RAR file is corrupt- The messages says that while opening the file

[Guest]

It took me a good enough time to download this heavy RAR file which is about 2.5 GB but to my utter shock it came out to be corrupted. I am no tech but I can follow as step by step solution if anyone can provide in an easy manner. I have already search over lot of internet pages but I couldn't actually relate to that typically technical language. Can anyone give a comprehensive guide to fix my RAR file or if there is any tool that I can use but it should be more automated. I can’t take too much of stress doing all of it after already investing a lot of time on this RAR file which says its corrupt

I believe WinRAR has a 'repair' function. If that doesn't work, though...

sadly it is what it is....... if the file got corrupted during transmission corrupted it is... you'll have to download it again.

Was it a single Rar file or a set of rars? Rar files are sometimes accompanied by Par files which make it possible to reconstruct a corrupt or missing Rar file. If you do not have access to the Par set then I think you have no option but to download the file again. One reason it is not advisable to make a single Rar file that large is to avoid this very problem.
