Are there members who use WinZIP for extracting zip files? I’m trying to extract a zip file i get: Invalid data into a Zip file.
It is a 10GB file which i don’t realy want to wait for it to download again. May I know has anyone got this error?

Looks like the the ZIP file is corrupted, you can try to fix it using this command

"C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip" -yf zipfile.zip

Hope this helps.
