I'm trying to download "promods-v217.7z.001" but everytime it finishes downloading it I try to open the winrar file and it says the file is corrupt and the winrar folder is empty, I've tried it 10 times now and it's happened every single time and I would buy the single pack but I literally can't afford it for a while. Please sent me an alternative link to download it, if possible or some other way to get it.

Visit Google to learn something about multi-part archives, because it sounds like you want to unpack .001 without downloading all other parts ;)

I'm not trying to unpack it, I literally download it and can't even view the contents cuz it's instantly corrupted, all other parts have downloaded fine and are completely unaffected.

This is what happens when I try opening the winrar folder. (The image tag thing wasn't working)

Understood but where are the other parts. You need 002, 003, etc

Parts 002-007 are already in the mods folder ready to be activated in game, I downloaded each one separately cuz I literally can't afford the bundle download right now.

EDIT: For me parts 002-007 are not .scs files but downloaded as .002 all the way the .007 file types, part 001 was the only winrar folder and it's not working when it completes the download. Realized part 002-007 probably need to be in the 001 folder.

EDIT: the trailer and cabin accessories downloaded without a problem and I was able to open those winrar folders.

Why won't you visit Google then as I suggested? You seem to have no clue about PC usage basics. I always encourage people to find solutions themselves. When you're really out of ideas and spent few hours on trying to make it work - you can finally ask for step by step help. You can learn other things in the process too ;)

You need all downloaded "parts" of the full archive in 1 folder. Then, you only Extract/Unpack part1 (.001). Other parts will follow automatically but they have to be present in the same folder, otherwise they won't be found and you'll get an error.

Voytek, the problem I'm having that everytime I download part 1 it's downloads as a corrupt file instantly, I'm not trying to Extract/Unpack and I know PC usage cuz I grew up my whole life with PC's and I help the computer technicians in my college, so I do know PC usage and I have been trying for hours (12 hours). Also I DO have all parts but part1 just keeps becoming corrupt instantly after download. I can't put them in the folder either cuz part one becomes a corrupt after download.

I try opening the folder straight after download to view the files in the folder and put files into it but it always says "The archive is corrupt" before I can even do anything to the file/folder.

You cannot extract part 001 if the other parts are not present. WinRAR (or preferably 7-Zip as it's free) will look for part 002 after it has completed unpacking part 001. If it cannot find part 002 it will throw up an error.

Putting 00x files in the mod folder won't work as the game can't read them. They need to be unpacked.
