I thought it was only me but someone else also brought up the recent problem of getting error messages when trying to open or save the RAR files from the various threads.  The other person was getting them trying to download from iNSIMADULT. I have been getting them more often now, especially when trying to download from MTS2.

I provide two examples below:
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=206740 get a corruption error when trying to open the Midnight skin. Ren assures me its fine.

http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=217623 get an "end of archive" message and one of the meshes disappears from the file. I am sure it is fine as no one else has complained.

I use the free WINRAR program and today I downloaded the latest 3.62 version but the problem remained. I use Firefox as my internet access.

So, as I was writing this I thought, "self.......what happens if you try downloading through Internet Exployer instead of Firefox?" So I did and the files opened fine.:smt120

The only conclusion I can gather is that WINRAR has been modified to work better with Internet Exployer than Firefox (big surprise as both are made for Windows). Perhaps this will help others who are having problems lately. Try downloading through your Internet Exployer if you are using Firefox and having problems.

1.  There's something about your attitude that if I was an admin I'd consider banning you.
2.  If you had mentioned what your problem really was in the first place, you would have received more helpful suggestions from all who replied.  No one can read your mind or what you meant to say but didn't.  From your last post I still don't have a clue what problem you are experiencing.
3.  The only suggestion I have to offer now is if you don't magically figure out what your problem is, to delete those wonderful body types that BBB and Marvine created and forget about using them.

One thing you don't offer is why the programs BBB's suggested aren't good enough for you.  But it may not matter because having a "good unzipping program" won't allow you to download anything that a "bad" unzipping program will.  Downloading is a completely separate issue.

Is your problem with uncompressing the file or is your problem with downloading the file?

Download accelerators, and this includes most download managers, will not work with this site.  Neither will downloading with MSN or AOL browers because of built in accelerators.  If you aren't using IE, Firefox, or Opera, give one of those a try for downloading, then one of the programs BBB's suggested for uncompressing the download.

But if downloading is not the issue, what is the problem you're having with the programs on BBB's list?

then you are doomed - those are the list of all the programmes I found in 2 weeks of searching

This is my new favourite "born in game" sim: Solomon de Ste Michelle. the great great great great great great grandson of Marvine's and my self-Sims & the grandson of Clive by Engelchen at Sims 2 Arena

I caught him jogging in the park and later lounging when I was on the community lot at University playing another Sim.  I grabbed these pics because they really do say everything about the guy :lol:


Any way drool over him - I have perved him up plently lately :lol:
