Cannot Download Game From Wiki Link (1,490 views)

First off, this game looks amazing. I haven't played it myself but when I tried to, I came across an issue. I've been trying to download the game via the file-upload site, but whenever I click the Download button (its the right one, says so in the guide on these forums) my internet service provider pops up and says that this file may contain harmful data. I looked up other issues and others said that there are viruses via that link. I would rather not have one on my computer. Is there any other way to download the game, such as DropBox or something? Or am I better off to wait for the full version? 

Thanks.

We have over 40.000 downloads from this site and nobody has got a virus, the download is safe. There will be no other upload for this version, maybe we will upload the final version on more sites.

Thanks for your help. I got the file downloaded, but when I get to Step 7 on the Download and Play guide ( Part where you extract to a destination ) I get this error after I try to extract it to the desired folder:


! C:\Users\Desktop\PokmonSolarLightLunarDarkDemo5.0.2 (2).zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged


I've tried to repair the archive, but it gives this error:


! C:\Users\Desktop\rebuilt.PokmonSolarLightLunarDarkDemo5.0.2 (2).zip: CRC failed in Pok,mon Solar Light & Lunar Dark Demo 5.0.2\Audio\BGM\PSLLD_WhisperTunnel.mp3. The file is corrupt


After re-downloading it a couple times, I still get the same first error message, but as I repair it, I get different sound files popping up as errors, such as this ^^^
Another thing with repairing it - It places a comma in the middle of the word Pokemon in the file name. I don't think its the cause, but I figured I should just mention it.

I don't know what else to do. I'm using Google Chrome to download the file, if that makes any difference.

Looks as though I spoke too soon. The problem has been fixed, but I will still write what I did that may have fixed the issue. I have seen others with a similar issue, and I'll see if this helps them like it did with me.

In a last-ditch attempt to make this game work, I did a couple of things. First, I removed any folders/files that had association with the demo. This includes emptying the trash. Not sure if its overkill, but its worth it to play this game.
Lastly, I restarted my computer. I then downloaded the demo again, extracted it, and no errors popped up.

And now, if you will excuse me, I am going to get started playing the game. Thanks again for your help, and I hope this fixes any issues others had.
