Please help - rar files no longer an option - now e-attachments
Venbury:
Here's a little more information .... if it helps.
Just got off the phone with Qwest and they ensure me it has nothing to do with them.
I went to the Insimadult site and tried to download Warlocks 34DD body shape and mesh. I had this in my game prior but recently did a bit of house cleaning and must have accidently deleted part of it because when my sim gets in the shower her body disappears.
Anyway, I tried to download the 34DD body. When I click on it to download it says I will be downloading an "attachment.html". It gives me 3 choices, save now, open with internet explorer or download later. When I select save now, it saves an e-attachment to the downloads directory, which I am unable to use. If I say open, it opens up another web page with the same download I am already trying to save. If I try to do something from the file saved in the download directory, I am directed back to the web site.
I then tested this on a download on this Insiminator site. I tried it on "Is he Mr Right? Meet Kofi" which was posted today under Sim Hunks bu Ilikiefishfood. In this case, the initial message I get when trying to download is that I am going to download an "attachment.rar" file verses an "attachment.html" file. Needless to say, things worked on on this download because my choices were to save now, which saved to my downloads directory as a rar file (which I could then extract) or I could open with rar or download later.
It seems all the files I have tried on the adult site have been a problem. On the Insiminator site it's hit and miss. For hair meshes downloaded from XM Sims site today I did not have a problem.
If it's a download issue, wouldn't this happen with all downloads on all sites?

From what you just said, you are right clicking the link to download. If the .zip or .rar file come up, you can just save as you are now. If an html page or .php link is indicated, rather than saving it, left click the link and it will download the compressed file.
Venbury:
Actually, I thought I had tried both options but just in case, I went back and tested again. Right clicking gives me a pop up menu to open, open in a new window, save target as, or download later. If I select save target as... it only alows me the htm option, which as explained above get me no where.
If I Left click this takes me to the MSN download screen, which is where I get the options to download an htm attachment as well.
Any other ideas?
ancienthighway:
Which link are you trying? It is possible there's a broken link.
Venbury:
The same problem has occurred on every link I have tried today on Insimadult, which has been over a dozen or two. I wasn't really trying to download a dozen items but when I had the issue, I started trying other objects and meshes and encounterd the same problem. Then I came over to Insiminator and downloaded a few items without issue for the most part. I think there were a couple of items that did encounter the same problem but I couldn't say which items those were as I've been going at this all day.:sad4:
