Zip file

Zip file doesn't seem to be working. File also doesn't seem to be downloading properly. The file is downloading as just download instead of download.zip and I'm using windows so when I try to open the zip file it asks me what program I want to use to open the file but I don't have an appropriate program to choose. Any ideas? Thanks

Try adding the .zip file extension to the file. I think I remember this was previously an issue.

I've had the same problem. Just rename your file to "download.zip" and then windows will be able to handle it.

Okay, thanks guys.
