Hey guys

I've noticed there are other people having issues with downloading some .zip files. Last night I tried downloading a couple of fonts on my laptop (specifically Dirtybag and Dirty Headline), but they were reported as being empty. Initially I tried extracting them with the default Windows action (my laptop is Vista), but with no joy. I then tried 7-Zip, but it reported the same issue - the archive appears to be empty.

I assumed it might be an issue with my Vista system. So this morning I booted up my desktop machine, running XP SP3 and downloaded Justice by Dirt2. Exactly the same thing again: tried to extract it with WinZip, reported as an empty archive, and the same error with 7-Zip.

As an experiment I tried re-downloading the .zip for Justice via Firefox, and it worked perfectly. It seems the issue is downloading via IE7 (on my desktop PC) and IE8 (on my laptop). This never used to be an issue, so I'm not sure what's changed?

I've download, unzip, install and use Justice, Dirtybag and Dirty Headline without problem.


For me, it seems to be a problem of download.

Hence why I said:


I'm not sure if these .zip files are generated dynamically (I wouldn't have thought so), but it looks like it's a browser-specific issue.

To download on DaFont, I use IE6 and IE8 and I've no problem.
Perhaps it's something in your parameters or your temps file. Try to erase the tempory files ans coockies.

Menhir, you still use IE6 ?!
wow it's a 10 years old browser !
