Corrupted Map Downloads Options

[LiveWire]

As discussed in the shout box downloaded maps now won`t open for me unless I rename them to RAR.

Below pic shows a file compare of the same map downloaded from here today 2/2/17 and on 22/1/17, the recent zips are identical apart from an extra byte at the start that stops them from working.

I don't (and never) have this extra byte when I download any file on 17b

Your file, downloaded 5 minutes ago:
 Screen_Shot_02_03_17_at_08.13_AM.PNG ( 47.17K ) Number of downloads: 197


This is a screen from Notepad++, but I have tested with HxD too and get the same result: no additional byte (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/icon_neutral.gif)

Can others who have same problem post here their configuration ?

For me:
Windows 10 + Chrome/Firefox/Edge in last versions: no bug
Connected and guest: no bug

Additional byte in your screen is a space (0x20).

From wich page do you download files?

Do you use captcha ?

Think I have found:

There was an extra space at the beginning of one php file and if you were downloading from a list page (I download from detail page) this extra space was sent with archive.

I have modified file and I think it's fixed now.

Can you verify please?

I was told several days ago not to download anything from 17buddies because the files have viruses. Is this true, did it get resolved, was I being lied to and I just now looked up dod_saintsnow and the page does not look like it usually does. I think I uploaded the two examples. The dod_saintsmorning is what I am used to seeing before downloading a map. The dod_saintsnow is different. Any comments?

There are no viruses on 17b's archives and you can download without stress.

The two screens you posted above are a screen of a map page (dod_saintmorning) , and a screen of a wad page (dod_saintsnow) and thus, are different.

No bug in theses pages (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
