Downloaded file sizes don't match?

All my downloaded files sizes are all different. What is going on here? I got:

TGW11a.exe: 536 Kb vs 547,845
TW11a-1.bin: 174,563 vs 178,751,648
TGW11a-2.bin: 175,098 vs 179,300,000
TGW11a-3.bin: 175,098 vs 179,300,000
TGW11a-4.bin: 174,956 vs 179,154,367

If any of your file sizes differ by even one byte, they're corrupt and will need to be redownloaded.

Checking your file sizes is the obvious and quick way to confirm a corrupted file, but it's not 100% foolproof. That is, a file may be the right size but still be corrupt.

From what you are saying, it would seem that TGW11a-3.bin and/or TGW11a-4.bin are corrupt. Check the file sizes first, and if that gives it away, redownload the corrupt piece. Otherwise, redownload TGW11a-3.bin first and try that, followed by TGW11a-4.bin if you still have the same problems.
