Linux Netscape just noew did the same D**m thing. : --a--- 1,021,462 11-29-02 7:04p c:\1recv\linux_ns\ara171ue.exe (ns saved it with .exe extension and did not suggest .exe.gz or .gz)
compressed uncompr. ratio uncompressed_name 1021462 1039025 1.6% ara171ue.exe (same listing of contents as from Lynx) --a--- 1,039,025 11-29-02 7:04p c:\1recv\linux_ns\ara171ue.exe (same "now usable" result after first renameing as ara171ue.gz, `gzip -d ara171ue.gz' and the renaming ara171ue.no_ext to ara171ue.exe) Again IMNSHO, Linux NS did it all wrong. :(((( The content-type being sent from Angelfire is "application/msdownload" I don't know wheather it's my client that's doing it or perhaps the Angelfire server does it when it detects a Linux or Linux_style client that's doing the D/L. (Dos_Lynx is after-all a Dos port of the Linux browser) But whichever the case may be... what we end-up-with is a Gzipped .EXE which must then be Gunzipped and renamed. :(((( _____________ On Fri, 29 Nov 2002 18:57:25 -0400, Glenn McCorkle wrote: > As I stated in my last message. > And as Eric has now confirmed. > The correct size of the file is 1,039,025 bytes. > That's why I put the `exact' size on the download page. > (not just an approximation of the size) > This lets you know that if the file you got is less than that size. > The download is incomplete and you must do it again. > BRB > ___ > There...
