I hate routers. Ever since we got our Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router, occasional files would come in corrupt (images over AIM, bad CRCs in zip files, etc). Usually just resetting the router would fix this. Now, ever since I reformatted my comp almost EVERY zip or exe file I download is somehow corrupt, even after a reboot>modem reset>router reset.

I was thinking about taking the router out all together (don't need it anymore since my old comp is in dozens of pieces on the table) but I dunno how to reconfigure everything if I do.

Anyone else ever had this problem and know a solution?

Huh I have never had that problem before. I used to use a Linksys Router/Hub for a network when i used to live with my x-friend we had 3 computers and a laptop hooked up to the network and I rarely had problems with corrupted downloads.

What version of windows are you running and do you have cable modem or DSL?

The only time I have seen somethig like this is when you have your servers MTU mismatched with your connection. (i.e. DSL's MTU = 1490 or 1492 in most cases)

Mark is running one of those with no such problems. Maybe you have a bad one?
