Does anyone else have my problem with downloading from the free section (not the VIP) from 3D Cafe? When the UNZIP opens up, there is no file at all, just blank. Is there a way around this?

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

So far their files have been fine, I get alot of items there.

ive run into a couple empty zips but mainly i do pretty good...but i havent dl'd enough of em to say which i get more of...complete or incomplete.

I've downloaded tons of stuff from there, no problem yet. Name a specific file, I'll try it. AgentSmith

I tried about 20 diffent downloads at random from different categories, all came up empty. I wonder if 3D Cafe is trying to read my C:drive in a way that is being blocked by my firewall? This happens on occasion at Renderosity, but it never seems to affect the download. This only started happening (I think) when I upgraded to XP. Oh, well, there's nice stuff there, but I guess I'll just have to learn to live without it unless someone can give me a fix. I guess I should post this question at 3D Cafe (duh).

I just tried downloading ten different ones, no problem, zips intact, worked fine. BUT, there are so many files there, I could still NOT be clicking on the same ones you do. Name anything specific that you couldn't get, I'll try it. That will answer a LOT of questions! AgentSmith

i had some problems with the factory

Opens fine for me. Maybe try re-installing WinZip or whatever you use.

Thanks for the input, guys. I went to the source (well, I am a little slow) and posted my problem at the Cafe forum. If they have a solution I'll post it here in case anyone else needs to know.

...killing me.... It is most likely a problem on your end. I believe it is the inept XP. ...`course, if I had the name of some files you were unable to download....ah, well.

I can't find a place to change it in Windows as a preference, but left clicks on the download buttons at 3D Cafe performed an auto-UNZIP (this happens everywhere else,too) and left me with an empty unzip (this only happened at 3D Cafe). The fix, as usual, was too simple. RIGHT click on the download buttons, Save target as, run Unzip, open the zip file, voila! The objects are there. Oh, well.
