Attachments Corrupted ?
 

Thought I'd let someone know (if it hasn't been pointed out already)....

It just started this afternoon...

Whenever I try and download a zipped attachment, I get currupt archive errors.

And its not just me that has been getting currupt archive errors...

aha!! that explains a lot! i been panicing my computer is screwed lol!!

It also happens on vbulletin.com.

attachments are fine to me

maybe try upgrading your winrar version to latest or can u give us a direct link to an attachemnt that is corrupt when u download it so we can test.

atachment in that post is fine and opens fine once downloaded so cant be the board

No, there is aproblem all over vbullentin.org.. everyone is reporting errors.

I just downloaded Chroder's devbox zip file and it opened up fine for me.

Oh bull++++. LMAO! I just spent my last few hours downloading all the hacks. BAH! What a waste of my time.

broke for me also

I use Windows Xp built-in zip extractor. Files are corrupt. Try downloading some vb3 arcade games for example.

I downloaded v3 Arcade again like an hour ago and it worked perfectly here.

I tested something that I know was good and shows the correct size on vb.org. When downloaded it's 500+ bytes short - making it corrupt. AFAIK nothing has changed on my end.

Just an update, it still isn't working for me, and I have tried mutiple threads, all show up Corupt.

so why it working for some and not others is a weird problem that !

Probably has something to do with what browser you are using and/or what is being used to decompress the zip. So, on that note, would everyone who is having that problem post their OS, web browser and version, and zip program. :)

Worked for me about an hour ago, now cant download any attachments as they are all corrupt. No firewall getting in the way and have the problem on both my pc's :(

I just got down downloading every hack on this site pretty much and all zips are corrupt on my end. I am using the built in zip program like Dark Jim. :(. Dunno why though, as they worked earlier today? :confused:

Dont work in IE, do work in Mozilla

strange

I could download zip files fine when using getright but not using IE. And I can download zip files fine not from the vbulletin.org/vbulletin.com forums.

WinXP, IE6, WinZip - Also failed using Opera

In both cases the file size is wrong.

Worked with Mozilla.

Now I wish my DSL was to download Mozilla. :p. Stinking dialup. LOL

Its the site, not your computers.

I downloaded Mozilla and it worked!!!

Thanks ... untill it's fixed I'll use this .. too bad I have to keep using vB2 due to no image gallery on vB3 that's stable.

There's the common tread - just proving that IE blows once again.

Yea i get this also its very weird....

haha i just spent an hour upgrading all of my software, emptying temp files, enabling zip files on my forum and downloading them, thinking it was just me. The problem is also on vbtemplates as well. very strange.

Same here.

I'm also having problems, I have posted a message at Vbulletin.com forums already. I wonder if it may have something to do with the new security measures they are putting in place for the downloads of the forum converters, they are being very careful that the non-registered sites don't get those converters.

if that's the case, it's very disruptive to those who use IE.. i use mozilla firefox, so i don't care.. however it shouldn't be browser dependant or OS dependant.. kinda defeats the purpose.. you rule out 90 percent of the world.. and people sometimes aren't as apt to change so please don't tell folks to just DL firefox..

no reason in the world IE users should be punished because of some internal security/ site change..

THought I would try it out....

win xp using firebird and winzip 8.1 ... everything seems fine.

Using Internet Explorer and winzip 8.1 its corrupted.

I saved it to disk from IE and again using winzip, it came up corrupted. However, using 7-zip, I was able to open the archive. (dont know if its all there or not though).

Also, I tried Netscape 7.1 and was able to download fine. I appears to be an issue with using IE to browse these forums.

Chas.

Its the site

I use IE and d/l 15-25 gigs every 2 days in Zips,RAR's ect.. Someone added some code and forgot something. No big deal .. sooner or later it will be fixed.

Use win-rar 3.x and only have problems here. :rolleyes:

i see amykhar replied.. i reckon that's the hidden post deal.. so it must be a site deal..

must be the site then..

nm the off topic part.. not worth the fight anymore..

I can't replicate this either here or on vBulletin.com. What exact zip files are you having problems with?

Wayne, when you go to download a file, istead of d/l the zip, try to open it and that's where I get the error. I never used to get that. But downloading the file to my system seems to work fine. ;)

Try Chroder's stats hack zip.

Yeah, that is a known bug in Internet Explorer according to the Microsoft Website:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308090

Wayne, I tried with the vbpetz hack and one or two others I cant recall at the moment.

I just read the article and I had a problem when I saved to disk as well. It doesnt matter to me as I use firebird but it maybe affecting others.

I don't think this exact issue has anything to do with that bug in IE. I can DL attachments in any other vB3 Forum, but just cant get em here. The txt files DL fine. It's just the zips.
