InetTransferLib Http download problem with zip files

I've been using Dev's fantastic InetTransferLib to upload and download
files via ftp. Now I'm using the http procedures to have my application
download zip files from my website. Although the download process works
OK, it adds a few bytes to the file during the download, so a 46k file
becomes 52k. I can still open the file using Winzip, but cannot open it
using my active X extraction system (ActiveXZip from www.hdse.com). I
get an error 'Bad file format'. This is effectively stopping me using
the ActiveX unzipping process which I need to build into my application
to allow clients to download and install files from my website.

I've tried the same process using ftp and the same thing happens. If I
download using a browser, the file is transferred with no extra bytes
and unzips perfectly using Winzip or ActiveXZip.

Anyone know what could be happening during the download to modify the
zip file? And how to fix it of course.

Can someone help me with mvps.org's InetTransferLib demo? I successfully brought in InetTransfer sample .mdb and the modules. I can bring up frmTestCases form and when click on any of the buttons, I get this message: Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost. I am on a DSL connection and have no problems with my network connection.

Access collective, I am running WinNT4.0, Acc2000 SR1 and IE 6.0. I converted (from Acc97) and imported Dev Ashish's InetTransferLib add-in modules into my Acc2000 database. Using the sample FTP upload code provided by Dev, I can connect to my FTP server but it will not upload the specified file. However, it can create a non-existent directory if I set ..AutoCreateRemoteDir = True. Dev's sample code with my modifications:

Hi, I have an A97 database, which I have created for FTP purposes using the InetTransferLib.mda file by Dev Ashish and Terry Creft The application has worked great for me as long as I dialed-up directly from my PC. When I used the Internet connection sharing over the family LAN hosted on the other PC, I would always get some kind of error. (I can't reproduce it right now.) Recently, the situation has reversed. When I'm dialing up...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
