Just a thought and suggestion.
What about using the self extracting rar file or just a rar wrapper?
Zip's are known to have cross platform trouble, MS based host servers are #1 offenders.

Many times it's the ISP's or local user's anitiviri.
Is SMF's Webhost using Zend? If so Readers' Comments
Even some firewalls can cause problems.

I've also noticed RedHat's Fedora uses a torrent system (which takes a big load off their servers)
that allows multiple crc checks from each seeder. Even here they wrap zip files in a rar to
avoid corruptions. This seems to be the future of Linux based file transfers.

edit: I've had no problem- Xp pro FF Ie and used ssh putty.exe to D/L as well.
Courage is not an absence of fear but doing inspite of it!

I believe RAR is restricted in source (decoder source is free, but you are not allowed to use it to make an encoder) and the unrar tool for Linux only works on v2 files or below.

rar is a nasty format, especially when other FOSS formats are availiable. But in anycase, a self-extracting file would cause far more troubles as we'd need to make one for every OS.

Ok, i tested personnally, and all is correct for the result.

Only one thing: why the download is marked "length and time" unknown?

maybe your workaround is the cause of this...

Just a little up, you haven't corrected all the packages correct? (some mods still have this error...)
