compressed file invalid

[VEX]

I am trying to download a zip file from a known good source on the web and every time I try to extract it my Win7 machine says 'The Compressed (zipped) file C:blah blah blah is invalid'

It is doing my head in and the support on the web is useless.

Anyone else having this problem or more importantly have a fix.

Trued downloading using both IE and Firefox.

most zip programs have a "Fix" capability for corrupted volumes. try winzip or winrar

Empty your browser cache and save to a different location on your hard drive

I can't even get the file to load into winzip, still comes up with the same message.

Try 7-zip too, that is pretty good for what appear to be corrupted downloads.

Nope, 7Zip doesnt like it either.

Is it something to do with the difference between 32bit and 64bit software?

really screwing me up now, and I can't believe there is not a simple fix or it is not common either.

Maybe it is a bad file on the well known server... do you have a link to it?

[VEX]

It is inside the dealers section of a website and I know no other dealers have had problems.

I could email you the download I have but it is 85mb.

Is there an online line extract utility I could use?
