I have recently downloaded some ZIP files.
But when I go to open the files using either PKZip or WinZip I keep on getting some sort of error message "the open archive command failed"
with most of the ZIP files I have downloaded over the years I have never experienced this error message before.
I can still open most of my existing Zip files, but not the Zip files i have most recently downloaded.
I tried deleting the files that fail to open, and then downloading again only to have the same problems

Any ideas how to solve this???????

Can you doneload from an alternate source - the site hosting the files may have broken copies?
