Several different methods of packing, archiving, zipping, uploading etc files



De.scription and Message

Our of curiosity after getting an error, I tried several methods to get a file uploaded to my site.

It seems that any type of zipped or compressed file gets destroyed if it's uploaded, passed through, then downloaded through integramod 1.4.1

First I tried adding a .rar file as an attachment and the member complained that the file was corrupt and wouldn't work.

So I tried it again, changing:

a) Compression size vs. quality

b) Type of file eg; .rar , .zip etc

c) Method of compression eg; Right click, "Add to xx.rar" , Opening winrar, going through the wizard to create the file etc,

Nothing would work

So I tested the file locally and it worked just fine
Then I uploaded the file to my server and used a clickable link to the file and it downloaded and opened just fine.

Then I gave up on that and tried to add it as a download through ACP. After getting a ctracker message I entered debug mode as normal and fixed that problem. Then went through as usual and added the file. When I went to test download the file I got a strange error about donation. See post [url=http]HERE[/url]

So I went to the download section normally and uploaded a file as a member would of just an image. It worked successfully and I was able to download it.

So then I went and did the same file using the regular upload method and I was able to download it fine, except, like before, the file had been destroyed.

So, I think there is a bug with Imod 1.4.1 when handling zipped or compressed files. I don't think it's uploading/downloading the complete file.

I use WinRAR 3.70 beta
Zipped file contents:
index.html 5kb
images folder 149kb
.psd file 548kb
.txt file 2.2kb
.css file 17.6kb

Error received when unzipping:
[code]!   C]
With pop-up box saying "No archives found!"

I can upload the file to my server and use a link to point to it and download and unzip just fine, only when it passes through imod does it get destroyed.

Any ideas? or perhaps a better archiving/compression tool?

I can confirm......I was waiting for someone to bring it up..... I reverted back to my 1.4.0 site.. I now make daily backups twice a day. I will get hacked but its easier to upload a backup then go through all of this. 1.4.1 sure is nice but tomuch trouble.

Kinda like the new phpbb site. yuck. ha ha ha

But yes sir I can 1000% confirm this problem as well. I canupload tomy server and throw a direct link up and its good if i try it via acp upload or on site through the Dload page, i get these errors as well.
