Rep Power: 5  |  Firefox downloading problem I downloaded a video off rapidshare in mkv format and while it was downloading I watched it using VLC. But it finished and I kept watching and then when I check to see if it finished it has the error 'could not be saved, because an unknown error occured'. There were 2 files left, mkv and part. The part was the one with the size of the vid so I changed the file extension to mkv and then converted using super to avi. It doesnt work in windows media player. So basically, is there a way to make the video 'complete' so that i can convert it to avi and it will play?

Rep Power: 5 | When I do that it asks if you want to overwrite, which I dont want to do because I dont have much downloads available. And when I press no, it just goes away.

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 234 | Well then don't touch a file while it's downloading.  If you really want to watch it that bad, copy the temporary file.If you can find a torrent of the file, I'd suggest using that. It'll hash check what you have and download the rest.
