RE: Cannot decode file block: Error decompressing block with deflate, possible data error

["Cooper, Michael" <Mi...@hitwise.com>]

I have also experienced deflate errors while reading some (very small % of files) with the C library (and written with the C# library).

Some sort of recovery tool would be a help for me as well.
It could just drop the broken block from the file.

Are all your files running into this, or just a few among the C-written ones? The file is possibly corrupt cause of missing bytes or other reasons (hard to tell specifically). Having more info on the behaviour or a sample such file to inspect may help.
