Hi guys the snapshot in op seems to be damaged I can't get it out of the rar/zip file any tips on why its not working? thanks alot
are there any other snapshots?
guess Ill have to sync it the old way

Nope Snapshot is good, did you compare checksum and file size.
There are 2 snapshots options ,
1 is the entire snapshot named ZeitcoinBlockchainSnapshot.rar size 2.66GB
or
2 is the above file Split into 700 megabyte sections, ZeitBlockchainSnapshot-700-Files.part1.rar
(If you download the 700MB, you have to download all 4 parts and then with them all in the same directory, open part1.rar with winrar, this allows you to extract the ZeitcoinBlockchainSnapshot.rar out onto your drive, and then you reopen winrar and extract the files from ZeitcoinBlockchainSnapshot.rar .

700 MB file option is for people that internet is too slow to download the entire snapshot at once.

If you sync from scratch it will take you over 3 weeks.
Which if you are a die hard and want to sync from scratch , you should use a batch file to restart the ZEIT wallet every few hours.
All PoS coins with a fast block time , and are over a few years old, mempools fill up which can cause the wallet to freeze up during long syncs, which a restart clears the mempool and keeps the sync running as fast as possible.
