Then maybe the ISO is just corrupted. Try downloading it from a different site like mininova.org
Remember, use torrents not PSPISO.com or such.
For torrents, use mininova.org or torrentspy.com and for the client, use uTorrent (download at www.utorrent.com ).

Well not jail but usually a fine. I mean the whole point of downloading a game is illegal so wether it's a torrent or not it's still illegal.

I'm not suggesting, the original poster stated that he has an ISO and wants it to work so he has to download a different one and to be sure it'll work, he should use torrents. I'm not suggesting I just helped.

@tmbm
It's called giving someone alternatives and trying to help.
If you don't have any help to offer for the poster then don't post.

I use torrents all the time for my downloads.
You can do a few things to make it safer when using torrents.
Use Peer Guardian to block known IP's that monitor downloads.
Use updated IP filter files you can download off some torrent sites that can be loaded in Peer Guardian.
Use private trackers.
It isn't 100% safe but pretty darn close if you use them properly. No file sharing is 100% safe anyway.

The only way they can track you down is if you are using a shared internet like a college server or something like that. Otherwise, if you're using your own private internet, its almost impossible for people to track you down...so i've heard...

Enuf on the subject of can you get caught using torrents.
At this point mickyw78 needs to post back on if they need any more help - when they do keep the topic to that.
