Quote - I also just downloaded the file from sharecg, and again, its just a regular zip file, and extracted perfectly.

It took me 10 seconds for a google search for it,  downloaded also in about 10 seconds, and extracted in just a second or two.

So instead of bitching about someone providing you something FOR FREE, you could have resolved your issue yourself in less than 30 seconds.

Sorry if I seem short, but I have zero patience for people who will not bother to seek solutions themselves, but instead waste much more time instead posting, and bitching about it instead.

 

I have tried resolving this for far longer than the supposed 30 seconds you solved it in. Maybe as some have surmised here it is because I am on a Mac. Yes it is a regular .zip file but when i run it through Stuffit Expander or the on-board Mac unarchiver I get the file I posted above. I even tried getting the app you sent me to get and got nothing but a crashed application and no file to work with. Somehow you make it sound that asking for help is an easy solution when in fact man it isn't, especially when I encounter well meaning folks giving suggestions that don't work for me.

Bottom line, I have been trying to Dl this and other figures by this artist since he made them available with the same negative result. They have ALL been the same problem. Nowhere else have I gotten this problem either.

I have asked around off-thread ot IM, to others on Mac sand PCs I know  the same question and they all had similar problems or no problems just like I have found here. None of their suggestions worked either.

That is why i came here. if I could resolve the damn problem myself I wouldn't be asking for help. Apparently I am the stupid one from what everyone is saying here and I should just fade away. But I thought these forums were set up for just this kind of assistance.

This may not apply but there have been many instances were content creators do not use standard archiving methods. There were vendors in the past especially who would just make their wares available in ONLY .exe files. There is still at least one whose work i love and would PURCHASE (so it isn't just an issue about FREE stuff friend) but he insists on using .exe installing methods and refuses to sell his products as regular .zip files so the rest of us can at least install them by hand.That to me is foolish from a vendors POV because they are cutting out a portion of the customer base that could purchase their products Namely fools like me on Macs who can't use their files. That is what i was mostly referring to.

If after all the suggestions, as was the case here to get that unarchiver you sent me to get, which is supposed to open these files, I still can't get the program to unarchive the files correctly what am I supposed to do but complain. you would too as would anyone else lacking any ability to fix the problem themselves.

I am no computer genius and I have my problems figuring things out but that is why in the end I have to swallow my pride and ask for help. Getting a gut-full of swallowed pride and nothing but frustrated vilifying responses sure is not pleasent either. And if none of the help works I don't think getting upset is too terribly wrong.And if was taking up so much of your time why on earth did you stop and help?

 I have always respected you and your offerings and am the satisfied owner of many of your stuff from DAZ and have always appreciated your help when you have provided it.

Why did you take it so personally?
