Here some tips for users of download managers.

 

If you use getright or modzilla or related software to have a manager while downloading (to resume downloads who hangs or disconnects), you'd better read carefully what my mate "Monello" stated here.

 

Be careful if you download these archives with a software like getright or similar because you can encounter some problems.

When you download a file with getright, it will first ask you where you want save the file and with which name and then will start the downloading, but it will stop soon because instead of a file, it will find an html page.

So at this time it will ask if you want process the html page, view it or cancel the whole operation. You must choose to view the page, so it will open another dialogue windows where it will reask again where you want to save the file and with which name.

If you choose the same locatione and the same name used before, you will see another dialogue windows where getright will ask if it must append to the existing file, overwrite the file or cancel the operation.

Choose overwrite and then the file will be downloaded succesfully.

The problem is that these kind of software, are able to download all what they find and then put these information in the header of the zipped file. In the header there are the information of all the object held in the archive (as size, compression, PASSWORD, ecc... ecc...), and if this is corrupted or contain bad informarions, you will not be able to use this zip!!! (unless you have an hex-editor to edit the header... but isn't so handy to do... :OZ).
