This might be a lingering bug with Lizardhill upgrading to Version 8 PHP.
Will look at it later tonight (my afternoon at work is packed with
meetings).

You can browse the member uploads directory, but not actually
download
the file.
This link works for me. But it just gets you to the page
containing the
file.
https://club100.org/memfiles/index.php?direction=0&order=&directory=Clinton%20Reddekop&;
<https://club100.org/memfiles/index.php?direction=0&order=&directory=Clinton%20Reddekop&;>
You can even see the contents of the zip:
https://www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?action=view&filename=z100v0.1.zip&directory=Clinton%20Reddekop&;
<https://www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?action=view&filename=z100v0.1.zip&directory=Clinton%20Reddekop&;>
The actual file download does not work
https://club100.org/memfiles/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=z100v0.1.zip&directory=Clinton%20Reddekop&;
<https://club100.org/memfiles/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=z100v0.1.zip&directory=Clinton%20Reddekop&;>
And this time the internet archive does not save us.
