hi

dont know if this has been covered before but the files are downloaded in compressed format (zip)

however it is not possible to download files onto apple mac as the broswer does not support zip files (of this type) and comes back with error message.

is it possible to have an option were files are NOT compressed.

was a bit messy having to borrow a pc, etc etc so i could then use uncompressed files on my mac to transfer.

many thanks

robin..

Many Mac users can and do download these zipped files. If Macs trult cannot download and unzip files (one of the most common ways of savinf time when downloading) I will be surprised.

No, the point of Zip files it that they not only compress, but also allow many files to be downloaded in one go. This is by far the most convenient method.
*All* computer platforms (PC, Mac, Unix, Linux, RiscOS et all) support Zip files, they are an industry standard.
