    Tried a few as well, none worked. I've asked that this thread be moved to the Forum Feedback section, which will get proper attention faster than if the thread stayed here.

    Looks like the downloads are "working" in a way - they come down as BASE64 encoded strings that you can decode to get the content (note that the HTTP server isn't sending a Content-Length header, so your browser may be reporting failure - but if you open the dev tools and look at the response, the BASE64 data is there).

    Strangely, the one I tried had an extra 0A byte prefixed to the beginning, so you will need to strip that off to get the correct full data. Fun

    Looks like I spoke to soon about the data being okay after conversion/stripping the leading 0A byte prefix. Even though the ZIP files I tried are openable and the directory contents are navigable in 7zip, the data can't be extracted due to errors.

    chatgpt,ai ask c#,vb.net,vb6,js question ?They crawl programming knowledge code from programming forum crawlers, but never watch an advertisement once, resulting in a 90% decrease in programming forum revenue. Therefore, the programming community will go bankrupt in about 2-5 years, and all downloaded resources will be unusable.

    i can't download on china.maybe a few days late,we can't open vbforms.com

    I've moved this to the forum feedback. Steve is out for the next couple of days, but I'll be sure to put this on his radar to address as soon as he's back.

    Good News Bad News...... I reported it here on the 30th.

    The solution is unknown at this time... Probably related to CloudFlare.
