Problems Downloading FS2004 Updates

I'm encountering problems with two downloads reguarding the new FS2004 default texture upgrades.
The addons download ok but when the communication ends, the download is corrupted. I've heard that other people are having the same problem.
The files I'm talking about are the FS2004 Default Cessna 172 and 182 Texture fix (FS2004 Props Pg2) and the FS2004 Default Boeing Series Texture Fix (FS2004 Civil Jets Pg 1).

As I said, these are not broken links but will not download properly. I'm not sure is anything here can be done but just thought I'd bring this problem to light.  :)

Nothing wrong with that file or the server. You must have encountered a network problem.

Still problems. I think it may have been corrupted on upload. I can't unzip any of the files when the download completes. I found the Cessna one on another site and it was ok.

It's not corrupt - I checked the actual file on the server - it's 100% OK & It's been d/l'd 100's of times already - it will be 1000's by the time I run the next stats output.
If 75 people have problems & 2875 don't it means there is a network problem encountered by those people outside our control. I sympathise with your trouble but I can absolutely confirm it is not a simviation issue. This is a reality of the internet for large file downloads.

It's like a long car journey - you may or may not encounter traffic along the way depending which route you had to take.

If it WAS us believe me I'd be on it 'till it was resolved.
