Ok, I downloaded via 56k the content package and I still have the music and voice packages on a CD that I burnt at a friends house. What I don't understand is why, when I try to install the music and voice via the installer it either tries to download the files, or if I disconnect the internet I get "resolving host name error. Now I know I've received replies stating various parameters regarding directories. I follow the instructions in the pop-up windows and it still happens. Here is the data from the command prompt.Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Donald Christensen>E:

E:\>s the installer moves through it's program. Sooo......what in the hell am I doing wrong? From my way of thinking, the installer should be a no-brainer, so what am I missing? One of the replies I received seemed to infer that I should be installing using the Command prompt?!?! If that is the case, then I need detailed instructions, and if so I would be willing to make a long distance phone call, so as to get detailed directions. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

The .zip files are as they were from the download............I didn't change them in any way......The Phoenix AZ mirror from which I downloaded the files transmits .zip files. I hadn't checked any other mirrors til now, and I found that the Atlanta GA mirror transmits .uqm files. So maybe the mystery has been solved. I want to thank both you and Krulle for helping me in my ignorance.

Hmmm........ I wonder why I get zipped files from Phoenix?!? Actually it is the "easynews" source (Phoenix) thats gives the zip file and the "internap" source (Atlanta) that gives the uqm file. Since my download doesn't ever start, I always have to click on the mirror http in the header......... Does that shed any light on the subject?

Fot or not?

I think I've seen this before on some versions of Internet Explorer combined with a server that reports the files as MIME type application/zip (based on contents, not extension). Apparently, IE helpfully "fixes" the extension in this case. The last time I saw this, .jar files were being mysteriously transformed into .zip and the solution was to add the MIME type definition for JAR to the Apache configuration.
A workaround would be to modify the .uqm files so that they are clearly not ZIP files.
