Hi Dan,

Were you able to figure out what the problem may be with the download?
Thanks,

Hi, I have a PC and I've been trying to download and unzip the Sea VM file but I keep getting an error saying that the zip file is invalid.

Can someone please help me if they have encountered the same problem or knows how to fix this.

Thanks,

Hi Asjah,

What version of Windows are you using? First I would verify that the entire file downloaded. You can check the size (~4.7 Gb) but I'd also suggest verifying the md5sum value to be completely sure you have the intact file. You can use a program like HashCheck on Windows to figure out the md5sum of the file you downloaded. It should exactly match the md5sum posted here.

If you're sure you downloaded the entire file, and the md5sum matches, please post here and let us know, and we'll get to the bottom of it.

Thanks Dan,

I checked everything out and the entire file did not download; only 1.90 GB
This is the MD5: aa5940d9396c888a88a46b88458c9b07 which does not match the correct one.
I have tried downloading this file more than 5 times and I am not sure why it's not downloading completely.
