Hi Lilith,

I am afraid you can't, it means the zip file got corrupted and now it has been cached on the server. The file is bad so it will always give you that error after it downloads. Which is it and I will try to find the one and purge it from the server?

Cheers,
Richard

Have you downloaded the latest version of Orphalese?

That error also happened when Orphalese was update, if the person downloading wasn't using the latest version. What version are you using?

I'm using 8.5. Should I wait until 8.6 is up and ready and retry? I just recently switched computers and downloaded the 8.5 on this new one. I tried redownloading again to see if it would work, but have the same problem, either "wrong local header" or server not logged in ?

Hi Lilith

Well I am a bit stumped for now. Recent versions of 8.5 should be ok, and so should 8.6 which was released yesterday, although in terms of the Deck Exchange 8.6 hasn't changed anything.

Could you tell me when the error occurs exactly e.g. you go to download a deck which is quite big and should take a good few seconds to download...Does the error occur as soon as you try to get the preview and deck, or is it after a few seconds or minutes of waiting when the deck has finally arrived at yor machine? Basically I am trying to guess whether it is a problem with the download (should happen straight away when you try to get the deck) or with unzipping (would happen after a few seconds or minutes)?

Cheers,
Richard

It happens after the decks are downloaded after several minutes.

Now there are none in the list - you see zero decks available for exchange?
