Do NOT try to download again from the one that gave you a bad one. That is my advice. Go to another until you find a good site. I honestly believe it is the mirror, NOT the download itself. IT IS identical from the one you downloaded. Too bad there wasn't a way to do a crc check BEFORE you downloaded eh? Or is there?
