It was suggested this might a problem with sourceforge's data storage limits (which I doubt is the case). Happy to see someone was able to reproduce this issue.

I think I was able to download your form #83087. Do you want it? I can send it in an email.
I still fail to see what you are talking about if I can download your form.

The point is not if you can download it, but if you can unzip it. I *can* download form #83087 but the archive won't unzip, giving the same ZIP corruption error as in the case I was reporting earlier.

tfindlay, are you on Mac OS by any chance? I suspect this bug may be invisible to non-Mac users. I tried downloading one of the zips from the demo site from Firefox/Win XP and it works fine.
All zips downloaded from Mac OS (I tried both Firefox and Safari) are corrupted. This is something the developer may want to look at.

I am trying to help here. Do you want a copy of the zip file sent to you or not?
If you get errors on your Mac this is not likely a developer problem. A zip file is a zio file is a zip file. A link to a zip file is just that. If you can not successfully download a zip file on your Mac this is a problem with your Mac. Maybe it is not treating the file correctly by file extension as most PCs do. The issue is the same when using ftp manually. If you don't set the mode to binary for binary files, then the file that is downloaded will be corrupt.

It definitely *is* a bug. PHP applications are meant to be cross-platform and browser-agnostic and they should send the correct HTTP Content headers regardless of one's OS.
To get a non-corrupted version of the ZIP, here's what I did:
- downloaded the archive using FF/Windows
- unzipped the folder using WinZip
- rezipped using WinZip to generate a correct archive
- sent the new archive to my Mac
- unzipped it
HTH

You are not talking about a PHP application. You are talking about a binary file transfer of a ZIP image. One of two things are occuring.
1.) File is corrupt during download.
2.) File is mis-interpreted during unzip.
These are valid zip images, and WinZip has no problem unzipping the image.

There _is_ something wrong with the zip files. WinZip being able to unzip them doesn't necessarily mean they're 100 % correct. Or has the zip file format changed in the last years? That could be also a reason. I also have a Mac, and 2 out of 3 GUI unzip utilities don't unzip the archive: BOMArchiveHelper stops with an error message, Stuffit Expander only unzips form.html and then stops without error message. The Unarchiver on the other hand unzips it. Also Fink's command line UnZip 5.52 and /usr/bin/unzip (5.51 in OS X 10.4.11) handle the file. I've unpacked probably thousands but at least hundreds of zip files without problems with BOMArchiveHelper and Stuffit Expander without an problem.

the first question I ask to myself as a developer when someone reports a bug is: am I able to reproduce this bug? Instead of doing this, people in this forum including yourself have repeatedly been blaming users who reported a potential bug. I am sorry for you guys but this is a sloppy way of running an open source project. If you disregard possible bug reports just because "you are right and the end user is wrong", be my guest and keep your buggy software. If you don't, please do your homework and check whether you are able to replicate the bug before blaming your end users. All information required to replicate the bug is in the tracker and this issue has already been reported by four distinct users.

Just because BUGS are not fixed on your schedule does not mean they are ignored.
You are correct, when we determine that what you call a BUG is not a BUG, we will ignore it.
All reported bugs are tracked and, on the developer's schedule, BUGS will be addressed.
THIS IS FREE SOFTWARE. IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT, FEEL FREE TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE AND DON"T COMPLAIN ABOUT ISSUES NOT BEING FIXED ACCORDING TO YOUR SCHEDULE.
If you like this FREE SOFTWARE feel free to continue using it. You have an issue, OK. You apparently have a work around, even better. You have reported what you think is a BUG, thank you and enough said. Please stop poluting this help forum with your idea of how this project should be run.

Everything works fine until I try to unzip the download. I get a message that says:
Unable to unarchive "form-1.zip" into "Downloads".
(Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)
I unzip files all the time in my Downloads folder. Any suggestions?
I had exactly the same issue.

I downloaded the file, unzipped it, tested it. What more do you want? This form can be downloaded, unzipped, and used without issues.
Send me the form number in an email so I can try it myself.

that's not very helpful, TNTEverett
