Re: [IE] IE7 corrupting ZIP files. Firefox does not.

I got the same result. The Zip file was corrupted.

As a test, I FTP'd a ZIP file to my own server but I uploaded the file in ASCII format (which is incorrect). When I downloaded the same file back to my PC using IE7, the file was corrupt (as expected). Then, I transferred the file using BINARY mode and redownloaded. The zip file opened up perfectly.

I suspect they inadvertently uploaded the file in ASCII format instead of BINARY.
