Nope, these settings don't improve the situation.

Subject: [os2genau] HTTP downloads

Hi All,

Is it just me or my system, where http downloads of .dsk and .wpi files
invariably bomb-out with CRC errors in the former or "file not
recognised" in the latter.

With .dsk files, I have noted in the past that the file size via http is
about 5Kb larger than an ftp download. The file size via ftp agrees with
the file size listed on the ftp site, so http downloads must add some
baggage somewhere which results in the file not being recognised.

I was going to try ODIN, to see if that would resolve my GPS issue, but
apart from the ODIN file download link on the Netlab page crashing with
a 404 message, trying to download the .wpi file from Ian's site via http
gave the previously mentioned message.

I cannot discover the correct user/password/account combination for ftp
that the netlabs ftp site is happy with.

Ian, is there a way of doing ftp downloads from your site?

Thanks for any help,
Leigh Bunting

They need to be setup in your Edit-Preferences-Applications
Netscape menu

Descriptions = dsk download
MIME Type:  [blank]
Application:    c:\netscape\program\plugins\npfi.dll

Warpin files, there is a package to run to include the
application MIME type into Netscape automatically.
The file is included in the warpin.zip/exe install
files, had a quick look but I cant remember what
its called.

Hmm, might be called "wizilla.exe"

I still havent figured out why but some people cannot use FTP
to ftp.os2site dot com  (also on the bottom menu front page).

Its not a windows thing either, most OS/2 and Win users get in
ok, some dont.

The would be hackers get in ok :-) but cant do anything :-))

username = anonymous
pw =  at    (or your email address)
