I just purchased ubbthreads 7.5.4.2. When a downloaded the tar.gz file and tried to unpack it, I get the following error. Seems something is wrong with the tar.gz file.

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I tried to unpack it on two different Linux but got same result.

Thanks,
Mike

FYI, I also downloaded the .zip file and used Linux unzip. This seems to unpack without any problems, so I guess I'm OK. But I don't think that there should be corrupted files on the download page.

Thanks,
Mike

Humm... someone else a week or two ago had a similar problem with the tar files. I know the zip files are fine. At least they were.
Have you tried them yet.

I think I'm going to have to remove the .tar.gz option for right now. Not quite sure what's going on. Repackaged a couple of the versions, some extract fine, some end in an error, when they are done the exact same way.

Will put the .tar.gz option back in when it's working properly.
