    This is the warning I got downloading 1.6 just now.

    URL: https://secure.expressionengine.com/download.php?ACT=download
    C:\Users\*****\Desktop\ExpressionEngine1.6.0.zip
    Corrupted archive - wrong original size

    I am pretty sure this is a false positive, but since it doesn’t tell me the details I can’t verify it.

    I downloaded the file, unzipped it, scanned it and found no problems.

    Incase its a question, avg is an antivirus program found here:

    AVG, for some reasons, hates our zips. There is no virus in there of course. There is not even an executable file.

    JT, are you also using Internet Explorer?  It has some weirdness with SSL and header caching.  MS has a bug report out on it, but we’ve yet to see a good solution.

    Hi Derek,

    Yes, well I’m using an IE wrapper but essentially it IS ie 7. I’m using Maxthon 1.5.9

    Ok.  I still have my finger on the pulse, but I think MS is going to have a make a move here, as I have been unable to find a reliable fix (though I have found no shortage of sites having the same problem, heh).
