trying to download the zipfile from your site - it seems it cannot be opened - i tried twice, and i tried 7-zip and winzip to unzip it - no luck.

Try this mirror and let me know if those files work:

http://dh.trisweb.com/zenphoto-files/

1.0.7 is at:

http://dh.trisweb.com/zenphoto-files/zenphoto-1.0.7.zip
http://dh.trisweb.com/zenphoto-files/zenphoto-1.0.7.tar.gz

If those work and the main links don't, then we've got a server problem; if those don't work then it's an archive problem. I'd appreciate if you let me know if they work for you. Thanks!

It's IE! I tried it and got a corrupt zip file, just like you describe.

I never test in IE and feel I shouldn't have to ;-) People coming here should know better. http://www.getfirefox.com.

Regardless, I'll figure out what's up with my server (probably a MIME-type or some error) and fix it. Thanks for the info! :-)

It was a problem with mod_deflate gziping the output. Browsers are supposed to handle that, but IE has bugs (gee, what a surprise) that make it ignore compression on certain types. So that zip file you got is actually just a .zip in a .gz file, if you `gunzip` it first it becomes a valid zip.

But since that's not right, I added an exception for IE to my mod_deflate configuration so everything should now be normal. Thanks for reporting this!

OH -- and seriously, STOP using IE already. Why does anyone (you) (yes, you) still use it??? http://www.getfirefox.com

Wow. You really feel quite strongly about IE don't you. Wink

(Not that I blame you. I cannot stand IE either.)

I do feel quite strongly about it, yes; as a programmer I'm appalled that other programmers made such a low quality product. It's like people driving around a 10-year-old beat-up car that can only go 40 miles per hour, breaks down every ten minutes, doesn't have a radio, and is put together with duct tape (cough[i]CSS hacks[/i]cough) when you could get a souped-up fire-orange Ferarri (FIREFOX) for FREE. Or a nice Honda Accord (Safari) or maybe a Toyota Camry (Opera), all for free, but no, people just keep on drivin the junker. I just don't understand it, and it's such a pain in the rear for web developers that I feel like speaking my mind about it sometimes, especially when I find another "new" bug. It's just an unacceptable quality level. Even IE 7 doesn't make it much better, so don't bother, just use Firefox, Safari, Opera, whatever, anything but Internet Explorer.
