Thanks, Mike: Well, I tried to use both WinRAR and zip7 to decompress the downloaded zip files, but each one gives me an error message on the way to having ARx open the pdf files; with WinRAR, I get the error message as it is decompressing the file, with zip7 it tells me the archive is corrupt, and although a pdf file is produced ARx cannot open it.
Trader Sam was very patient and uploaded the files just to be sure it was not his files causing the problem, so it has to be something with how my computer downloads the files...I noticed that, unlike other downloads where my computer tells me the progress of the download, in each instance I don't get that little progress bar as I downloaded the files, so I suspect I am not getting the complete file for some strange reason. Not sure this answers or helps, but let me know if you have any thoughts before I re-install the pdf reader and contemplate another way to download the files. BTW, I tried other downloads from the site and encountered the same problem, so it's not just with the TOT files, apparently. Cheers!

Using IE8 and A Rx, when I try to extract the zip files using either WinRAR or zip7 I get a message telling me the pdf files are corrupted. Trader Sam was good enough to spend a bit of time back and forth with me on this issue, and given you all have had no such problems it is obviously something wrong on my end. > > I have to give this a bit more thought to find a solution. I will have to consider what pdmmcool said about ARx being a possible source of the problem, but I note Bob Lutz using ARx had no similar problem….curious…. > > Thanks again, I do appreciate all that responded and downloaded the files to confirm the problem lies with my end, not the webpage. > > Cheers! > Jim Jim, Just to be clear, is it Reader or 7Zip that throws the error? If it's Reader, then there's likely no problem with your downloads, but wth Reader itself (probably what Paul said as well). You can try uninstalling and re-installing Reader, or perhaps go for one of the (smaller, faster) alternative readers and see if that solves the problem. -- Mike Hungerford http://www.chthulhu.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
