Help! When I try to extract the New Photo Pack (BigDog Real World) I'm getting a Compressed Folder Error: File Skipped Unknown Compression Method.

What am I doing wrong?

I am getting the same error as well.

PadresFan · 03-24-2007, 03:04 PM

lemme check it...

APujols5 · 03-24-2007, 03:10 PM

it was compressed with Winzip 10.0
with compression set on Maximum (enhanced deflate)

I was able to copy it directly from the server to my HD and it unzipped fine so the file is ok. it may be a file server issue, I'll give it a re-set and see if it helps. I'm sorry to the 10 guys or so who's downloads i'm gonna kill

probably,

anyway, server is reset, i used the http server this time to copy the file and it unzipped fine. everything should be good to go.

It may be time to start building a replacement server, this thing took so long

i wasn't sure it was going to boot up

what kind of speeds are you guys getting anyway???

downloading that photo pack, I am getting 140-150 KB/sec on my cable modem... About 20 mins to grab the 129MB photo pack.

So for folks having problems with the file, please try grabbing the latest version of winzip or whatever program you use. Seems like it is working fine for some and not for others. Not sure what to do at this point...

honestly it was probably the server, it was under heavy load for a few days and probably needed the reset, we'll se what happens. let me know if problems keep popping up, i can run the server off of my pc and we can troubleshoot.

Ok, just downloaded again after the server reset... I successfully extracted all the images with the following two programs:

- WinZip 11.0
- 7-Zip 4.42

Looks like the file is ok if both of these programs can read it.
