Weird Problem - 3rd Party Downloads RSS

This is a re-post. I think I originally placed it in the wrong forum...

I'm having a weird problem with 3rd party downloads. Not with Paizo products, as I've downloaded several modules and the PFRPGs with no problem. But I just purchased 01 Blueprints: The Ruined Town and I can't get it to unzip. The last time I had this problem was when Paizo had their big pdf sale last year. Several files I downloaded then had the same issue.

The file downloads and shows up as a zip file of the proper size. WinZip says the file is corrupted. I tried downloading another zip program, PKZip, and same result.

I'm on a year old notebook, Windows Vista, everything updated and just can't figure out what's going on.

Anybody have any hints?

Taking a wild guess here, try renaming the downloaded .zip as a .pdf and see if that helps.

You nailed it! If anyone else has the same issue and can't figure out how to convince Vista to change the file type, just Open With... and point Vista to their PDF reader of choice. Thanks Gary! IT was really annoying me!

Grrr. Normally I'd be all happy to blame Vista or sunspots or something, but your experience actually confirms that this is a bug in our code.

But yay that my suggestion worked for you!

And again, never had the problem with Paizo PDFs, just 3rd party stuff...
