This is a common problem! It is caused by TUCOWS naming their file wrong, and probably ALSO the mime codes on their and/or your end! In answer to your question, my IE browser has the problem, my netscape one does NOT! On yours it could affect the other one or both.
FIRST of all, there is a 50% chance your file is ****NOT**** corrupted! Try reading it as a TAR file with NO compression! You probably already figured out the problem from that solution! MIME codes can cause problems. I had one product set one of my browsers up with a routine to download ebk files. When I tried to download an ebk file for ANOTHER product, it was corrupted. My only easy solution at THAT point was to use another browser. THEN, It worked fine! WHY does this happen? Somebody got the bright idea that they could speed up the internet by having on the fly decompression of files. Those downloads COULD have been pictures on a website! What can TUCOWS do to fix the problem? Simply give the file a .tgz extension! That will defeat this problem, AND make the format clear to everyone! Steve Hi All, When I try and download client code version 2.6, it is supposed to be 511Kb, however, it downloads 2MB+ and is a corrupt file. Does anyone else have this problem?
