Can't seem to download TP zip

[starcad]

Well I guess the subject kind of sums it all.  While I seem to be downloading the zip file, I get a file with '0' bytes.  When I try to upload the file with Package manager I get, "The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted."

I'd really like to give TP a try as I love the idea of having a Portal system.

Any help/suggestions welcome. 

Thanks Guy Fuller

You try another browser? I don't have any problem getting the download on my end.

Nope!  You have an excellent point as I use Firefox.  I'll fire up IE7 and give it at try IchBin,  thank you for your suggestion and I'll let you know how I come out.

Did you try following the link through IchBin's signature? It works for me in FF...

If the cache and temp internet files havent been cleared in the browser for some time, this issue will be there until everything is cleaned out.
Try and make a "spring cleaning" in your browser and restart it, try and download again.

Humm! very strange.  Did all of the above and still get '0' bytes in the file that is downloaded.  What is really funny is that I can download all the files here except TP and TP Manual install.  Both return '0' bytes and when trying to open them I get the "corrupt file" warning.  Also, tried to dionload on one of my other computers.  I have and old '98 machine that I'll fire up tonigh and give it a try.

Thanks all of you for the suggestions and if anyone else has any please feel free to jump in and post it.

OK, I guess we can mark this on solved.  Well, almost!  First let me qualify this a little more.  All three of my XP machines would not allow me to download the TP files.  All three are basically set up the same as I like things that way. So, that means that all three have the same Norton firewall and AV.  All three also have all the latest windoz updates and are configured the same. 

So.  I have a little Toshiba that I use with my Vinyl Graphics business making magnetic signs for contractors.  This computer is setup with Win98 as the drivers in '98 allow me to plot larger graphics than XP.

I was able to download the TP zip with the '98 machine and then email it as an attachment to myself.  WinRAR was then able to open the file and allow me to inspect the contents.  All intact.

For all intents and purposes, I feel that my problem has to do with the why my XP machines are configured, AV'ed, and fire walled and my problem had nothing to do with Tiny Portal and the files I had been trying to download as I could open the zip after I email it to myself on my XP machines.

Thanks all of you who helped me work out this problem of mine.

Glad you got it at least. lol I've said this before, and people don't believe me. Firewalls and Anti-virus affect your connection. Whether it be the way it filters it or whatever, I've seen it happen. Try disabling your AV and Firewall to see if it works temporarily.

Yeah I know what you mean IchBin.  It's somewhere deeply embeded in Norton as the '98 machine has not protection at all.  It's only used for business needs.  I work all day helping businesses with there internet problems and use this trick all the time to get around a fire walled machine.  Humm! maybe I shouldn't post that - Ah! Why not, it may help someone someday in a real pinch.
