    All ZIP files that I am currently downloading when extracting are reporting a Corruption error ?.

    Any ideas why this might be, have checked with other users who have no problems extracting & installing the same file.

    File downloads are reporting same size file as advertised.

    Are the files actually corrupted?

    If you are using Win XP's zip function, try WinZip and see if you get the same message.

    Can you be sure that the message re corruption is correct? - have you tried to open/install the files in question?

    Which zipper are you using?

    I'm using Windows XP Zip extraction.

    every time I try to extract them it says "No files to extract ", yet know there are as the file size tells me.

    Tried it with 10 different files and each same the same.

    If your using a down load accelerator or simular utility I have seen these cause corruption of the zipped files.

    Download WinZip (not Win XP Zip) and try unzipping with that.
