Not sure if your site has let me log in. If not, this is NBRBH again.

As promised I tried it at work. My work computer uses Windows Vista as its OS, and uses WinRAR as its default unzip program.

I have tried downloading both Sherlock Holmes #1 and Freeway Fighter #1, and both return this error message in WinRAR:

"This archive is either unknown format or damaged."

I have never had a problem unzipping anything either at my home computer using Windows Vista, or at work using Vista + WinRAR before.

try winrar... If your not already using it... ALSO make sure that your downloads are not stopping early, try them in a different browser to see...

doubleyou tee ef? i used winrar for unpacking these archives...

my winrar version is 3.61
the size of the archive is 4 652 343 bytes
md5 of the archive is dc3f25d3f234f461cc07634096bf4ff9
sha1 of the archive is b7de2b15994fce898796ffd7cf726da6a5f3843f

i seriously don't know what are you doing wrong
have you tried selecting "open file" inside winrar instead of double clicking it? maybe you have something screwed up in auto open

Just tried that. Same result.

I'll try again later. Weird.

I would never call myself "an expert", but I'm the guy in the office people turn to when they have a problem and can't be bothere to deal with technical support. I wouldn't normally have asked here, but it's baffling me.

Red Avatar runs Vista, so we can ask him to test the archives when he's around.
