can`t download zip`s from CMHQ !!!!

[Carsten]

Help! I can`t download any Zip from CMHQ sice about a month( or two).
I could download zip`s before, Idownloaded abot 50MB, since its release, but suddenly,I could only download pictures for the Mod`s, but no MOD whatsoever.
I don`t have this problem on other websites.
There is simply no replay.

I know that this isn`t an actual CM problem, but the great new MOD`s improve the Game a lot.

What browser (and version of it) are you using and what exactly are you clicking on to download the .zip files ? I'd probably suggest clicking on the text rather than the picture (though both should work). Depending on your browser you may want to right click and select "Save Link As.." or something to that effect.

Assuming that you're on a PC, what compression utility are you using ? Your browser may not properly recognize the .zip file and instead attempt to download it as text/binary data for display in the browser.

I`m using the Internet Explorer 5.0 and
WinZip 8.0 and I`m clicking on the Text, not the picture.
As I said, it all went well and without changing anything I suddenly experienced problems.

Not sure why you're running into this problem. I wouldn't have thought that anything has been changed on the CombatHQ website, but it's possible that something is giving IE fits.

The first thing to try would be to clean up IE's cache which can be done by goin to Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. When launched it will ask for the drive (if you have more than one partition). Make sure "Temporary Internet Files" is checked and click OK. Before you do this I would shut down all of your programs, especially IE.

The next thing I would recommend is updating your IE. Version 5.5 is out and Microsoft always seems to have patches for it (and 5.0) usually for security and a few other details. So if you're running Windows98, I'd suggest running the Windows Update. Some of the downloads can be quite large however and there is the possibility that the update may cause other problems.

Thanx Schrullenhaft,
although I didn`t change a thing, I can download again.

I guess we`ll never know, but non the less
Thanx for the support.
