I don't know.  The files on SimTel are perfectly okay, I tested them
when you first reported the problem.  Many users downloaded those very
files before, with no problems whatsoever.  I use the same methods and
programs to make many of the other *.zip files on SimTel, and all of
them work.  You are the first person to complain.

I'm simply trying to eliminate all possible causes, one by one, that's
all.  That's why I suggested to change the FTP client.  If that
doesn't help, the only other possibility would be some hardware or
system software problem on your system, which only happens with very
large zip files.

I agree that this is all very strange, but a simple logic dictates
that when all other possibilities were eliminated, the one that is
left is the cause, however improbable it might sound.
