Won't download as ZIP

For some reason, today's 10/13 Project of the Week will not download as a ZIP file. I tried any other .spin from the Object exchange, and it works. I can see the ZIP, and I can extract it. All I get is a PE file that can't be opened.

    It downloads and unzips for me to what seems to be the correct stuff. This is using a MacBook, the latest MacOS and Safari for a browser.

    I went to the thread via the link on Parallax's main webpage and clicked on the file attached to the first message in the thread.

    I tried it for you and it worked ok. You can try .zip to the end of the file name (rename it)

    I have been having this problem as well, files from the object exchange work just fine for me, but . zip attachments from the forums won't work until i add on the .zip myself. I am using windows 7 with the latest Firefox.

    I usually have the same problem with firefox and file names containing spaces. Add the zip extension.

    Firefox seems to be the problem, but only on this file. IE is OK, and even Firefox on Ubuntu works, but can't use Linux with Parallax, unless I look at BradC packages, but not right now. Having enough trouble with .spin under XP!
    Thanks everyone, I'll add the zip extension and let you know.

    Well, it worked. Just rename PE as PE.zip. Why didn't I think of that! Lack of focus, I guess. Onward & Upward
