Excellent, Fredrik!

Some version of WinZip that came with my second-hand computer. I can't check
the version right now.

It could just be that your version of WinZip is too old then.


Can you open any of these?

http://hem.bredband.net/b230591/pm2ring/blocks.zip
http://hem.bredband.net/b230591/pm2ring/blocks_repack.zip

The first one is just a copy of the original archive. The second is the  
whole thing rearchived with WinRAR 3.51.

No problem of any kind here. Just for comparison.

Thanks, Eero & Fredrik. I tried opening it with the same Linux archiver that
created it, and it fails. I've just tried DL'ing using Outlook Express,
instead of the Web interface, and everything works fine, so it looks like
the bug is in the downloading routines of the Web interface.

Actually, I downloaded it through the web interface without issue.

Hmmm. There goes that theory! Still, if anyone does get a corrupt archive
via the Web interface, please try via a newsreader.

Has anyone actually tried to run this software yet? Please? :)

I'm dying for some feedback.
