Asset Download Problems

[Irishrailguy]

Hi,

I have just got round to downloading the quattro studios 3d (camber) track and every time I go to open the zip file it is corrupted. It doesn't seem to download the files rather than openly transfer it. And when I look at the properties box it says the file is 24GB in size. Which must be wrong.
Has anybody else had this problem? Could someone lend a hand?

Thanks.

A file link or URL would be handy .......

No problem, here's the page,

Well is comes down here fine at 6.35MB and unzips fine. Inside the zip are a readme file and an RPK file that can be installed by the Railworks packager as a legacy file. I will try that later when I get back from my appointment.

I'd already installed this file, but I've just downloaded it again with no problem.

Hmm, the size issue was fixed, it's no longer a massive 24GB, however it is still corrupted, does anyone know where else I can get it?
P.S. I used winrar to open the file and I see the readme and .rpk file but I can't do anything with it as winrar also says 'the archive is corrupt'.

When you say it is corrupted what exactly do you mean ? The file comes down as a zip file that Winzip opens fine. Inside is a RPK file to import and a readne document. The RPK imports fine with the package manager.

I concur: it downloads just fine (6.4MB) and cleanly unpackaged with WinRAR.

I wish I knew what it means,all I can say is that when I go to open it I get a notification that the zip file is invalid or corrupt

Which browser do you use for Download?
If avialable use firefox, thats the better one.

Thanks Stefan, didn't think of that one, I might try chrome aswell as it downloads files differently.

And try using 7Zip to open it rather than WinRar - it works for me.

Sefan, THANK YOU! Firefox sorted it, turns out I was using internet explorer 6, so I can see where the problems came from.

I suggest you ditch IE6 - from what I remember it still has major security issues, as well as compatibility problems.

IE6 has more holes in it than a Tetley tea-bag and should be treated immediately with extreme prejudice. We've gone two full iterations since that pile of poop was current...
