For instance, if there were four files in the ZIP file that were to be extracted, only one or two would be extracted, while the remaining ones would be stopped due to the checksum error. This is not a small issue since many people include their documents, images, videos, or other files in a ZIP or RAR file. If the file fails to be extracted, then there’s a possibility of valuable data being lost.
