Hi I'm Dave from Italy.
I would like to know if I'm the only one who can't open the Zips archives. I downloaded and tried to open Nuvolar's works but also other Zips archives but each time on my screen WinZip (and WindRar too) diplayed this message. <<It does not appear to be a valid Archive". Any of you did have the same problem? Any of you did solve it?

I also have this problem with the files of Calimbo.
I use the last versions of WinRar and WinZip.

The magic words "Download Manager" will be mentioned, not once, not twice, but everytime somebody complains about corrupted files after downloading. GPG has had issues, not just with the old downloads section, but with files finishing before they're downloaded fully, so always use a download manager. I can highly recommend Download Accelerator Plus, but that may not be for everybody, so do a good search.

Hopefully, that'll provide the answer you need. Basically, re-download it, if it's still corrupted, use a download manager next time. ;-)

Resolved. I copied the files with GetRight. Now they opened perfectly.
Great help. Thanks.
