Delete this file and download it again. You already messed with this file. It's not the original file you download from our servers.

Your filenames also look wrong. You should not have a .7z(1) file, and you are missing a .7z.002 file. I suspect that either the .7z or the .7z(1) file is really supposed to be .7z.002 The file name endings probably have to be correct for this to work. Also, when opening with 7-zip, click on the .7z file to open.

Actually, thinking about it more, you probably downloaded the first file twice, and never downloaded the second file. That would explain why you have a .z(1) file and no .z.002 file. Try deleting the .z(1) file and downloading the second file again.

He has the 2nd part. You can see it under "Type", where it says 002 FIle.

Easiest thing, do as Vøytek says. "use another browser?"

"first" part is 001 file?
Alex1289, it might be this simple? maybe? Rename "including filename":
promods-v226.7z(1) to promods-v226.7z.001
promods-v226.7z to promods-v226.7z.002

If that does not work.
Use another browser that yo have not used for these downloads and download the first 2 files again.

You must be joking .I have downloaded the first file for 6 times in total .And all of the files are only from your servers .This is what I was saying about that (1) .I am pretty sure this is causing the problem .That (1) will show even if you don't have any actual file from promods (Tried on another computer which is used only for internet and the (1) is still there ) .Also for the other guy who was saying I don't have the second file , I actually do when you look at 'Type'.The names screwed up because I clicked on the second file by mistake and somehow the name changed to the first one .
So downloading the first file again would not fix it .I told you I tried this 6 times .The test file tells me every single time ,the first file is missing .Do I have to wait for the next update to get your map guys? I know I might be just a single person who has this issue and I know that -1 download means nothing to you since you have thousands of successful ones but what if my problem spreads like a disease .Wouldn't it be better if you had a fix so you can prevent it .Anyways I know you have some other problems and I don't really want to be a pain in the ass , unless I am already.Thanks in advance !

I have no idea what you are doing wrong, but it downloads fine for me, correct filename extensions at least. Considering how many people successfully download it every day, the problem is clearly on your end.
Having said that, here's a simple solution:
How many days have you been trying to get this work? Why not just pay $1 and do the paid download. It's just one zip file then, and I doubt you would have any issues with a single zip file. If it were me, $1 would clearly be worth it to avoid all the frustration you are having with this.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the downloads. If the filenames and/or extensions are wrong, then just try renaming them please. First part to exactly "promods-v226.7z.001" and second part to exactly "promods-v226.7z.002". Then open the .001 with 7-Zip v16.04.

Alex1289 I think you are having problems because Windows is hiding the file extensions and messing with the filenames. I suggest you configure Windows to show file extensions (you can Google how), THEN Windows will be showing you the true filename including the extension making it much easier to rename the files correctly. In particular you need to get rid of that (1) in one of the filenames, that's almost surely confusing 7-zip.
