Download Failure

I have downloaded Uplink twice, and each time stuffit expander has been unable to unstuff it. The first time it tries, there is one file left to unzip, and the restart window comes up. If I try again, stuffit either quits or says that the file "has been corrupted or is not a valid archive."

I didn't see any similar topics, and I apologize if this is a common bug. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a high enough version for your computer?
OS X?

OSX isn't required, and even if it was, it shouldn't affect the download. Probably a problem on the site.

If not, see if its a problem with Stuffit.

So this is where you hang out now, esw. Haven't seen you for a while. 🙂

If you're using Safari that can also cause problems. I love it, but I always use Internet Explorer for downloads.

------------------

What version of Stuffit do you have? I know that there was a bug in one of the newer versions that has only been recently solved - it was causing some problems with EV-Nova.

If that in response to my post, I use Stuffit 6. Although, my computer always downloads with Stuffit 7 by default. I've tried to upgrade but, at the end of the download it always says that it can't find an application. I can't remember why exactly, it's been awhile since I tried.

Discussion about Safari should be taken to Just Tech, not here.

If it's just a game, and life is all a game, then isn't the game real life?

I have stuffit lite and 6.0. I didn't have any trouble with EVN. Do you think that's the problem? Being the idiot that I am, I just deleted the Uplink binaries...crap.
