	Attachments Broken in Opera/Mozilla and Filename-less in MSIE Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

In Opera and Mozilla, all attachments result in a corrupted 28 kb download. In MSIE, they work but are given "attachment" as the filename.

I can confimr the IE download problems, though you can rename them to the correct extension if you know what it was. Examples:

and

http://apolyton.net/forums/attachme...826#post1332826

from the Democracy games. Downloading these with IE gives a file "attachment". No extension, no other name.

I get the missing file extension in opera on the 2 files above, but they download fine. I am using 6.01.

I don't have any problems with downloading in Moz. I didn't at any rate.

It downloads properly in Opera but the filenames are messed up. This is better than the previous state of affairs where it didn't download properly but had the correct filename.

Why are we using such an elaborate system anyways? Isn't it easier to load a third page which then refreshes with the download URL?

Downloaded files (using IE) seem to have the right names now.

Thanks MarkG.

I seem to be having problems as well. The names of the file are correct, but when I get the .zip files it Winzip says "cannot open file: not a valid archive"

Examples are: newdip_3_18.zip

what's your browser?

the issue is browser specific. mozilla and ie 5.5 and 6 are fine i believe

No problems in Netscape 4.78, file name correct, extension correct.

In Mozilla 1.1 the file has an additional extension instead of downloading pbemfix2.zip Mozilla call it pbemfix2.zip.php and gives it the file type PHP-File or something like this, so I have to change the type and remove the extension manually.

I'm using IE6 and haven't had a problem before. But last night I started getting these wierd messages with the .zp files.

I just tried it again with "newdip_3_18.zip" and when I tried to unzip the file, I got:

"End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a Zip file, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part Zip file."

This super-sucks, man.

has anyone else tried to download the file recently and been able to successfully open it? I'm racking up downloads on this file like nobody's business.

Okay after some testing ... I can download and open the Hover_Copter .zip file here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...&threadid=63363

But all other .zip files I've tried have been DOA.

Looks like I have to correct me, here. File name is correct but if it should be a *.zip file then it is something else. I was able to get it right by using get right. My statement about Mozilla 1.1 seems still be right entirely. There is just the renaming problem I get *.zip files if I am supposed to get *.zip files.

N4.79 is giving me broken 13k stubs when I d/l an attachment, while my old MSIE4.x claims that the file is unavailable from server or user settings are blocking d/l. I don't have MSIE web "protection" enabled. (see the Sticky Mouse succession game in Civ2 General/Help forum).

Mark, i didn't want to post a new thread so here.

in the ACDG, we just finished a turn, and poly seems to be screwing up the zipped save file. when you download it, and try to open it, winzip says "invalid archive. if you downloaded this file, try downloading it again."

several people got the save by other means (email) and posted their own .zip's, but it still gave the same message. i finally uploaded it to my webspace and people have to download it from there. this seems to be happening with all .zips i try to download

poly must be doing it because my winzip works on zips i already have . whats going on here?

It downloads properly in Opera but the filenames are messed up. This is better than the previous state of affairs where it didn't download properly but had the correct filename.

Did I say it was working? It isn't. Opera 6.05 gets the correct file size but downloads the wrong file.

Are you in the Southeastern US by any chance?

I'm glad someone else had the same problem, but it looks like it's fixed.

Without hearing anything from the Poly folks, I'm blaming UUNet's problems yesterday. Looks like the backbone of the internet had a back spasm.

Asher, I don't like several newer browsers, mainly minor annoyances in features that one uses all the time, so that they are continually annoying. Netscape 6 and Mozilla are AOLified, an unforgivable sin.

Nope, the problem has evaporated. Actually, the filenames are still wrong, but the files download fine.
