I'm downloading custom content onto my iPod from one computer then putting it on a different computer (which has worked before). I've put the files in the Downloads folder but they don't show up in the game. I have custom content enabled allready. When I tried to open the files with WinRAR, a message popped up that said the file is corrupt or damaged. What do I do??

Try extracting from the files when you get them onto the first computer to test. If they're corrupted then, delete them and try downloading them again - that means there was an error in transfer that kept you from getting the whole file properly. If they only get corrupted in being transferred to the other computer, it's a problem with the transfer process - try burning them to a CD or something like that instead.

Er - what are you putting in the Downloads folder, rars/zips or packages?

I put the rar/zip files in. When I go to extract the files, it turns it into a package file then if I click on that it says "files are corrupt/damaged/whatever" :/

You don't need to do anything to the package files, just leave them in your Downloads folder. :)

GAH! It finally worked!
I always thought I had to do something to the package files, but I guess not! :lol: Thank you!
