RAX200-V1.0.5.126_1.0.65 bad zip

[wingdam]

I've downloaded this 3 times and win zip, 7zip and winrar all report a bad zip file.

Re downloaded today and everything unzipped. Old downloads still bad.

It must have been something with the ISP.

   What are the name and size of your "a bad zip file"?

I gave it a shot and it worked for me as well. 

What are you downloading on?

What's telling you its a bad file? 

You're not trying to open/execute it are you? it'll be uploaded when you follow the manual update procedure.

have you tried the built in windows one or 7zip?

   Or anything else which touched the data.

   And now we can see why zip archives include basic checksums, allowing
a simple data-integrity check.  And one reason that organizations like
Netgear distribute such files in such archives.  (Clearly, the slight
compression was, by itself, not worth the bother.)
