Album DL Trouble.

I'm sure this is in the wrong forum, but I don't know where it should go, and I really need help. I bought the album, and I went to download it, and opening it doesn't work, so I saved it. Opening it after I saved it, it was trying to find the installer for a program I used for a little bit (on the left). When I right clicked to extract the files, I got the message on the bottom. No files to extract...? Anyone got any ideas on what I should do?

Okay, I went and hit Explore, and it said this.

Whoa, how can you stand having the text that big?

Okay, if you're using the standard Windows Extractor, don't. Not only is it hellishly slow, it's poorly coded. I recommend 7-Zip, I've been using it for years and have never had problems.

Also, does your internet disconnect often on its own? I know mine does that a lot. Interrupts download all the time, and it's very annoying. Your internet may have disconnected when you were trying to download the file. Perhaps you should try downloading it again?

Finally, if you have a spare computer around, try downloading off of that. In the past, I've had trouble downloading files from the FFR servers, getting the same error message as you, yet when I downloaded it on a friend's computer, no problems.

I'll try some of that. Thanks. Any other ideas are still welcome, until I get one to work.

EDIT: Okay, thanks Crashfan, I resaved it and it worked this time. This thread can be deleted now. ^.^

winzip... not sure how anyone can survive on the interwebs without it. and/or winrar. staple programs of a computer, for 10+ years.

Yeah just use win.rar it's much easier.
