OK, so did you come up with that yourself or is it a cut and paste?
Been away from computer (acutally updating daughter's BB s/w). Confirm CRC error on all carrier download.
Edit: in other words, it is a check to see if all the data was downloaded (or uploaded) correctly. If you open up the file in WINRAR there is a "test" button (yes, jstine taught me) or you could just unrar the file and if it hits an error it'll let you know!

CRCs are so called because the check (data verification) code is a redundancy (it adds zero inormation) and the algorithm is based on cyclic codes. The term CRC may refer to the check code or to the function that calculates it, which accepts data streams of any length as input but always outputs a fixed-length code. CRCs are popular because they are simple to implement in binary hardware, are easy to analyse mathematically, and are particularly good at detecting common errors caused by noise in transmission channels
