I can't unzip the game

Post by kingsolo »

I have download the file about 7 times now.I am using GetRight and GoGozilla.
Every time I download the file it is always a
few Mbyts short of the download file. When I try to open the zip file it tells me "Could not open file: file as no Archives". Then it tells me to download the file again. A few of the downloads did match the download file size, but it gave the the same error. Can any one help?

I have no idea why, KingSolo, but I'll ask around and see what we can come up with. As far as I know, only you have had this problem and it is mysterious.

And I still can't get through to download..ARGH...WB

My friend also has this problem !! I may have something to do with your zip program because I can unzip the file while has also this error . Scince we both try to unzip the same file it all seems to be a bit strange .

I think the problem was with my server. I was trying to download the file a work, since
it is a faster connection (T1). The server at work goes through a firewall & a virus scan. I downloaded the file at home. I took
about 2-days but it unzipped fine. So you may want to check it out. What do you think
Wild Bill?
