1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 14, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 While researching the 'Selected Aircraft not created' message causes, I wanted to download a mission pack from the vault, to check the contents of a mission file in there. But while I could download the file, it resulted in a .zip file my Winzip refuses to open, same with winrar. Winzip message is: 'Cannot open the file. Is does not appear to a valid archive'. Tried some other mission packs, here's a list of those that I can download successfully, but result into a broken archive file. http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/549-dinos-malta-coop-missions/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/67-operation-barbarossa-coops1770zip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/36-accepted-dd-missions26134zip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/49-6-black-sea-il2-hanger24149zip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/86-kursk2102zip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/168-horrido1076rar/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/176-ddco-op309137rar/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/439-snackos-zuti-mds-missions-pack-3/ Here's a list of file that after downloading result into a correct archive. http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/73-1-1-madjeks-redtail-missionszip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/53-1-1-madjeks-cactus-missions156zip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/71-x1-1-madjeks-pacific-missions151zip/ If you look at the first list, you can see I can't even get my hands on Dino's malta pack he uploaded just Yesterday! Could any one please try and see whether the cause it the vault, or me and my internet connection? (I've tried two different computers, two different browsers...) Thanks in advance!

DD_Arthur Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Good morning FT. Look my bloody internet seems to be working o.k. this morning, unlike last night. I've just d/l'ed the Malta pack from the vault with no problems and Winrar seems to like it. No error messages. It opens to a file which seems to contain all the usual stuff. Does this help?

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 14, 2011 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Does this help? Yes, well, kinda... I got some issue to fix over here now... Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 14, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Arjen. Try 7Zip, these are 7 Zip archives which are smaller than the RAR or Zip equivalents, 7 Zip is free and will open pretty much any archive including ISO, RAR, TAR etc.. First archive you linked opened fine for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First archive you linked opened fine for me Using 7-Zip fixed it Rog, thanks! (Would it be wise / smart to put some warning somewhere about that 7-zip file type on the download page? Or is it common knowledge and I am lacking in that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 14, 2011 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Well, it fixed it for the Malta missions, still the one file I'm looking for appears to be broken: Operation Barbarossa: http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/67-operation-barbarossa-coops1770zip/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 14, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hi Arjen. Yes submitters should state 7-Zip (that said the extension shows and 7-Zip is very popular - even Adobe use it as the default now). I have corrected the Barbarossa archive now with a copy from my PC.

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 14, 2011 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hm, I'm guessing you're looking into this right now Roger? As, well, suddenly there's two files to download at that link, and yes, hooray! the .7z opens just fine now! (Ah, apparently, it took me over 4 minutes to type my reply ... lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 14, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 If you find any more that are corrupt let me know. Some of them are very old and were copied across from our old host, as there is 51GB there is bound to be the odd one corrupt I suppose!

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 14, 2011 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Will do, and I do understand where this would come from... old stuff, dragged from here to there, then back, and forth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 14, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I have a few on my PC I can replace, can't find the Horrido one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 14, 2011 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Well, at the moment I was only interested in the Barbarossa one, just put the others in the list because I tried them, and could not get them to work...
