Jared Kemp Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I just purchased the art packs on sale and downloaded them, only to find the .zip files unopenable. Am I missing something here, or are they messed up? I hope this is the right place to put it. Great program! I am really enjoying learning it! Edit: More specifically, I can open the .zip, and see the files inside, but I cannot view or extract them. It says the archive is either in an unknown format or damaged. Ack!

RunnerPack Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 What software are you using to open the zips? I suggest you install and use 7zip (hosted on SourceForge). I also recently purchased some Art Packs and 7zip worked fine on the zipfiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Kemp Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Was using WinRAR, my go-to for years. Just tried 7zip, and no dice with it either. No idea what is going on. :-/ Thank you for the idea though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunnerPack Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 My only other idea is that the files are getting corrupted, somehow. Maybe you just tried to open them before they were completely downloaded, and they're missing a few bits at the end. Do you have another browser you can use to try downloading one of them again? Maybe also save it to a different folder (on a different drive, if you have one). If you have a Dropbox, you could use the "Save to my Dropbox" option, and let the DB app download it for you (and if you don't have one, click the referral link and we'll both get some extra space for free ;)).

Jared Kemp Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Huh...I tried Firefox and it went perfectly. I wasn't trying to open them early or anything beforehand. Must have been a Chrome thing. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
