Is jcs94.zip ( http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=2534 ) corruped?

the file is (atleast ): 1055bytes
and has the checksum(md5): 9ac695b2e4e770eff6d1e4477c051013

It should be around 3mb.

I can send you the original zip by email (newspaz@home.nl) or ICQ, AIM, Yahoo. You can find most of my contact info in my profile.

Make sure you save, not just open from Temporary Internet Files. That results in 0 byte files for me off J2O a lot.

Hope that helps.

If you're downloading from j2o with internet explorer and a norton firewall then you may need to disable the firewall temporarily - it is known to intefere with downloads in some cases.

This is strange... I tried to download it on my mac both with safari and wget, and on a friends linux computer.... same result.

If found a strange thing though.
goto the URL and check the file size (0Kb). This could have been just an error in a script on the server, so I tried to do a wget one more time (this time with debug mode on)


...
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=JCS94.zip
Content-Length: 0
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this file just has to be corrupt.

I get a 0 byte file when trying to download that. I tried downloading another random file to make sure there wasn't some problem with my browser, and that worked fine. So maybe there is something currupt about that one. Or maybe the download script is giving a bogus content length.

The problem is that the file is over 3mb, so I had Nebula to add it to the database by hand. ;) Apparantly a while ago FQuist changed J2O to start filetransfers according to their filesize (to support firewalls or something), this became a problem.

In the meanwhile I've sent hyarion the file. And other interested can of course always send me a PM :-)

Feline is still considering starting a new version, although I don't think it'll be here anytime soon.

Thanks for noticing this! I have fixed the problem and you can download it from the website now. Note to admins - if you upload a file by hand you must change the filesize in the database as well!
