Please check by downloading and opening. May be Peregrine's slow connection couldn't properly upload 2.5 MB.

    I don't think so aery, what decompressor do you use? try http://www.zipeg.com

    Your problem is most likely you don't have a full download. Your browser probably aborted and there was a timeout. If the size of your downloaded file is smaller than 2.4mb - that is a likely reason.

    I have to use a different machine to upload anything on vanilla forums because of timeout problems.

    But for downloads I use curl with retries instead of relying on my browser - so i ensure I get complete download.

    If the zip file was corrupted - the upload would have never happened - the addon would have never been updated. - there would be no way for vanilla add-ons to read description version info.

    It is on your end - my friend..... not the add-on and not vanilla's.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    @vrijvlinder looks like that uses 7zip as the compression engine. So it prolly won't work either.

    @aery I use 7zip and had no problem downloading and unzipping 4.0 on win7, os x, or ubuntu 12.04.

    On Windows I would recommend 7zip which is excellent.

    I use Mac , but also use zipeg on the lap top I occasionally use, I guess it's a matter of personal choice, just try whatever works I suppose :)

    gzip sounds good too

    Aha. It worked now.

    It didn't for my first two attempts. May be mine consecutive bad luck.

    actually I don't use curl, I use wget.
