Everything was fine a few days ago, I decided to reinstall everything, but GSX tells me that there are corrupt files for two days, I tried everything, restart my router, my computer, disable antivirus, reset all settings, do a clean install, still nothing helps the corrupted files error

Please follow the direction in this thread, to check the MD5 of the files you downloaded, to understand which files are still outdated on your Cloudflare node.

Ok, here's the current files which are online:
D861A30C0B60160E420B8AD8BDD0B8E4 gsx_p3d4_setup2-6.bin
451833DAAA301162F9F468FE5EFD958C gsx_p3d4_setup2-5.bin
749CFAB90DDDC1AB0AE6DF54B87B743D gsx_p3d4_setup2-4.bin
91A4EEC09C1F30DB3AB0950AC60B07CF gsx_p3d4_setup2-3.bin
7806AD4CF3266E4857C2DBB0AE71015D gsx_p3d4_setup2-2.bin
991ECB5E44BBCDE7B9A4B061E82B61AA gsx_p3d4_setup2-1.bin
FE987848705620D9BBF1A9353744BFB6 gsx_p3d4_setup2.exe
So you got ALL files correct except one, the gsx_p3d4_setup2-2.bin. I'll try to force a refresh of that file, hopefully your local Cloudflare node will get it this time so, try it again. I can't tell exactly how much time will take for the file to be spread again, but it should be soon.

Corrupt GSX downloads continues to be an issue for me. These files are corrupt (Checksums don't match)
gsx_p3d4_setup2-5.bin
gsx_p3d4_setup2-4.bin
gsx_p3d4_setup2-2.bin
So what do I do just keep trying? If so for how long? Should I just keep trying this until I get a set of clean files as the corrupt ones seem to change with each download attempt? Thanks

Well I have answered my own question and tried multiple downloads wasted many gig of download quota but eventually got a clean set GSX install files. Have now successfully installed into P3D5 and serials for airports seem to activate OK - at least it did for KORDv2. I will try the rest tomorrow. A bit of a saga surely there is a better way?

So it happened exactly as I've said it would, the right files eventually came by themselves ?

There's always a better way.
One could have been if you just just saved the last installer you got, there wasn't any need to download a new one in the first place, since if you start from any reasonably recent installer ( in your case, it needed to be the the first that supports P3D V5 ), it would have run the SAME, IDENTICAL Live Update process ( because that is downloaded on the fly as well ) which would have got you the latest version of all files anyway.
I suspect your issue might also caused by some addition CACHING ( on top of Cloudflare ) which might be in place by your ISP, otherwise it wouldn't explain why most of users got the correct files immediately, but you and *some* others ( we have hundreds of downloads PER DAY ) got them with a delay.
So, for example, assume that Cloudflare files need 15 minutes to spread all over the world but, if your ISP that, not only is placing you under a quota but, to reduce THEIR bandwidth costs, is using a local cache which is updated more slowly, let's say 48 hours like some DNS, you would get the files which everybody already has after 48 hours. That's the only explanation I have which might explain why for you and a couple of users it's different than anybody else.
The only way we could possibly fix this, is install each file one-by-one, instead of having large chunks of files that, if they are not all matching one with each other, would result in a "corrupted file" message. But this would surely make downloads WAY slower for *everybody*, because each single file ( there are ten of thousands ) will cause a separate http request, instead of just 6 like in this case.
