Free ZIP Download Non Readable?

[ReaperMadness]

I downloaded a rather large SFZ zip file, "Piano in 162". A weird thing happens when I try to unzip it. I get this:



This is a totally free download with supposedly no strings attached.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure but from the text there it seems to me that password thing comes up whenever an archive is not readable, no matter if it actually contains a password or not.

So I'd rather suspect an incomplete or corrupted download, could that be ?

Here it says the sfz is 4.6 GB
http://ivyaudio.com/pianoin162

which should be around 48blah KB I think (according to various online converters), so that 3,7... KB in your pic would be strange.

edit:
But also maybe try another unzip program first just in case, before going through that 4.6 GB download again.

A-HAaaaa...

Thanks, nofish. Good catch (Now I'm going blind, too?)

I'll try re-dldg.

You're welcome.
Hope you also saw my edit (so that you don't accuse me of suggesting useless bandwidth waste )

nonono. the archive isnt readable because there is no password typed in. that notice comes up always if an archive is password-protected.

I would go back to the site where you have that from and have a look for a password.

YesYesYes.

Problem solved.

I re-downloaded zip. This time it came in like this:



Unzipped file, never saw that password-request window again, put file where it belonged and everything's now working without a hitch.

Thanks for the nudge, guys.

good. so I have learned something new about zip-files with pretended password-protection. hm.
