IE7 download weirdness

[alex_read]

Hi guys, can you answer the following please. If there's still no hints emerging, I'll just do a dump of my IE7 settings so you can try setting yours the same

1) I've had this tested on IE 6 and IE 7 now which both work fine here. If it is an IE specific issue, then it will be a setting and not browser version. Are you able to access this fine not only through firefox but IE6 then or have you not tested with IE6 there (I wondered why you named this thread specifically in relation to the 7 version of IE).

2) I just can't think of any web server settings which would affect this really. When you are trying this, are you on the same network(s)? I know you mention the use of different ISPs, but are you connected via VPN, terminal services or anything like that?

3) Have you reset your IE7 installs to the factory settings and got the same behaviour?

1 - I dont have access to any machines with IE6 installed so I cant check this

2 - I do occasionally connect to VPNs in order to connect to our client's networks, and I was earlier today but there's no difference with or without the VPN. 3 of the machines ive tried it on are on the same network, but my home pc is obviously seperate.

3 - Factory reset made no difference

I'm leaving work shortly so hopefully a new day will bring with it some answers

alex, how could this have anything to do with our IE7 settings OR our network settings if we can download zip files from any other site perfectly? (Using IE7)

It's very strange, but it has to have something to do with our webserver, which is even stranger as you can download the file perfectly.
