The forum download works fine for access AND SQL from the US mirror, have not tried US but the file can be unpacked without a problem using WinZIP or WinRAR. When you unzip it, try to disable your Virus Scanner. There are some nasty ones who render zip file broken during download or unpack.

If you're using a download accelerator, you may want to disable that as well.

Both UK and US mirrors have problem. WinZIP and WinRAR (both latest versions) can not unzip files. No virus scanner is installed.

I have re-zipped up all the forum files using a different Zip program
and reuploaded them and have tried downloading all the files and all
sucessfully open in winRAR.

ive just downloaded UK and US mirrors (so i can test a few things,) and on both downloads winrar was giving the following erorr message
! C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\web_wiz_forums_access2000_v7[1].8.zip: Unexpected end of archive
and wizzip 8 was giving this error
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a Zip file, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part Zip file.
