HOW TO REPAIR CRC FAILED ERROR in RAR FILES

CRC ERROR in downloads from MEDIAFIRE is a common problem to the download links. Sometimes NO MATTER how many times you download the parts of RAR files. The CRC ERROR still pops up and annoyingly disrupts the decompression of files. This is due to the fact that MEDIAFIRE often corrupts the files uploaded and is not due to the fault of the uploader. However this problem could be resolved using the REPAIR ARCHIVE option from WINRAR. Read more from this article to view the tutorial.
