Can't download RAR files

Every time I try to download a RAR file I get an incomplete file that can't be uncompressed. I don't think that this issue is specifically restricted to Safari, I tried with several browsers and had the same issue with all of them. It's definately a problem on my computer though. I can get the file by using a different computer to do the download and it appears to be just rar files, sit files download fine.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Thanks but it doesn't work. The downloaded file is incomplete so I can't uncompress it regardless of what utility I use. Something is interupting the download or corrupting the downloaded file.



😊Found the problem, should have thought of it before. Norton Anti Virus was corrupting the file or blocking it maybe. Not sure which or what they have against rar files.
