zip downloads

everything I download is .zip files now!! I don't get it. are people uploading them as .zip?
but again I cant use "Cheshire" I just get a few files in a .zip and a .png of the coaster.

looking into it I went to download "Enigma" my own coaster and it is a .zip file. I know I didn't upload a .zip file so that's all you oscar

I am sure I didn't upload "Cheshire" as a .zip file. I only uploaded the park package so there is definitely something going wrong here. I hope it can be fixed for you.

Chesire downloads as an .nl2pkg in both Firefox and Chrome for me. Same for Enigma.

Its an issue with internet explorers update. We suggest you switch to chrome. IE is reading the encoding wrong and converts nl2pkg and nl2park files into zips.

ok I have firefox and I got a nl2pkg file. I like IE better so that is a bummer. at least I can use the tracks though.


thanks guys!

We currently have GZIP compression enabled on the web server, this helps pages to load snappy for browsers that support it. Unfortunately in the latest Interweb Exploder update it appears that any socket stream (Download) from a server with this enabled gets automatically wrapped up into a zip file. Microsoft is correct that Zip files do download quicker because they are one contiguous file that is smaller in size, but the other half of this is issues with the file extension registration for no-limits.

Internet Exploder should only be used for the downloading of another browser, Firefox, Chrome. It is not recommended for daily use.

Thank you Mikey for the wonderful explanation of IE.
