      @malas13 The.img file is fine and had been downloaded and used many, many times.
      What exactly is telling you "the file is damaged" which piece of software is giving this error?

            @malas13 Have you verified the checksum? Also try using etcher.io instead.

              I believe that this is the md5 hash sums : md5sum: edc151348f802c2a36f71270c53a30dd

                    @malas13 I know it's there! Did you check the file that you downloaded matches it?

                      @malas13 Before you ask where to get some checksums...

                      You can use this programm - works nice for windows

                      A good unpacker for gz is 7zip --> http://www.7zip.org
