This one has us perplexed ... very impressed with Umbraco so far, but when we tried to download a zip file from the "Projects" area, it would not unzip correctly. Is this the "blocking" issue I have read about? Any ideas how to resolve it? The package we are after is:
When we donwload it we get a 17K zip that seems to contain several internal files. But when we "extract all" we only recover the first one. Weird! Tried in IE and FF and Chrome and Safari.
I think the problem is because on some packages hyphens are added to the beginning and end of the file name. You can just rename the file and remove the hyphens, it may ask you if you are sure you want to change the file type just say ok.
You dont have to unzip the package files if you are just going to use them in umbraco. It will accept the zip file with hyphens.

Hi Ryan,
