Why when trying to download files from the forum do I now have a problem. Tried two different files now (both zip files) and they go through the process of downloading but when I look at them they are only 1K and if they look the correct size they won't open, sayimng the file may be corrupt. Any ideas? I have downloaded other files from other sites and they download OK just seems to be from this forum.

I've seen this sort of behaviour when a site has been blocked and the download has nothing but a forbidden message in it from a content filter or some such.
