I dont want any bugs for this question so here's the answer.

It's just as simple.

Your download has NOT worked correctly. In result of that, your file is corrupt. Normally you cant do anything else than retry to download the file. Another possible reason is, that the file on the server is already broken.

If u want to know it? I can only say: Try it again. If it doesnt work, contact the guys who wrote this game and ask for a CD. Mostly they have one.

I suggest getting a program called Getright from
http://www.getright.com
it will make downloads more reliable and has the cool feature of being able to stop a download in the middle and then restart it from the same spot it stopped at.
if you download large file frequently then this is the way to go.
