off topic

i know its off topic but i don't have any one else to ask.

This is how it is, i downloaded a zip file (now link is gone), and when unzipping - winzip reports errors. Please tell me how to fix this, (i have tried pkzipfix-didn't work) And one thing i am sure the file is fully downloaded(that is it was not dropped in the middls).

Think you might be out of luck here...

Pkzipfix has never worked for me... I think it's a scam personally.

Your best bet would be to search various web-search engines for the filename and try again.

tried about 13 ftp search engines, and yahoo etc. Can't find it anywhere? anybody

Maybe if you say what the file was, someone might have a more reliable source for it?

maybe it's your winzip that's screwing up. I'm sure you've used it before and ruled out that possibility, but I figured I'd at least mention it.

Are you sure it's a zip file? Sure it's not a .gz, .z, .tar or something like that?

Usually when you open a valid zip with a text editor , the first 2 chars in the file are "PK". If it doesnt have that then it may not be a zip.

I'm not sure if this is the case with TARs......etc.

This is the error that i receive

Error: invalid compressed data to inflate

that sounds like you're using the wrong extractor....:(
