Usually big files with the size of more than 100MB need to be separated to smaller chunks, say 100MB each (for Rapidshare) where you need to download all of them before you can unzip the original ZIP file. Unfortunately, there are times where one or more of them get corrupt. When I first came across this problem I simply re-download the corrupt file; it's not really a big deal if you have a high speed broadband connection but that's not really the case when you only have the so-called "broadband connection" with the speed is just slightly better than dial up. There must be some kind of ways to save your day.
Object Fix Zip is a small utility that can be used to dispel your frustration where it allows the corrupt ZIP archive files to be recovered and repaired easily. Basically it tries to reconstruct a specified Zip file by creating a new fresh ZIP archive file while recovering the contents of the faulty Zip file where possible. This software is designed for testing, fixing and processing of corrupt or unusable ZIP archive files that are partially damaged or not completely downloaded.
Here are the full list of features for Object Fix Zip
- Repairs corrupt or partially damaged ZIP archives.
- Extract files from ZIP archives with CRC errors.
- Extracts files from partially downloaded ZIP archives.
- Extracts multiple ZIP archives with a single operation.
- Supports all ZIP archive files created with any PkZIP and WinZIP compatible archiver software, except for those using strong encryption.
- Easy-to-use, intuitive wizard-driven interface.
- Supports all Windows versions, including Windows® 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista.
- Freeware!
If you download big files on regular basis, you may want to have this useful software in your possession. If a corrupt file can be saved, why bother to waste your time re-downloading the same file again? :)

I heard about not bad application-recovery zip, able scans the archive, detects the data structure and tries to recover as much information from the corrupted file as possible, using several different recovery algorithms, the tool makes it possible to achieve the minimal loss of useful data stored in the corrupted archive,restore data from corrupted media (floppy disks, compact disks, Zip drives and others).
