Post by: Whitelight on August 24, 2003, 01:55:31 pm: KT i`ve tried three times and got the same thing.

The only thing that i`ve done was cleared all IE cache and cookies, but I hardly think this could be the cause because i`ve clear all history before and didn`t have this prob.

And its not just the apollo.zip, but everyone that i`ve tried today.

Could it be something for win XP?

Post by: TheCelestialOne on August 24, 2003, 02:47:37 pm: Use Download Accelerator Plus, it gives you an option to choos between "Regular"download or "Accelerated" download. Also, when it downloads an html page (as you did) you get the option to open the page instead of getting a f*cked up file.

Its perfect for these situations ;)

Post by: Whitelight on August 24, 2003, 02:54:03 pm: Tried removing all the crap (&bla=$newtab=1) from the file extension and my zip program wanted to make a new archive, so I did and it was unreadable..

Must stay away from download accelrators in the future.

(edit) I`m on cable, and my downloads are quicker, so I really don`t need an accelerator, as to why I tried it in the first place, could a brain freeze explain it..

My download speed varies, it depends on the server. Anyway fileplanet was not at fault here, I was :nervous:
