Hey all,

I seem to randomly be getting an error when trying to import dove-net into my system. It seems to work sometimes and then the next time it doesn't.

Here is a ship of the error message I get after it downloads the packet:

[c:/mystic/tempqwk/vert.qwk]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in c:/mystic/tempqwk/vert.qwk,
and cannot find c:/mystic/tempqwk/vert.qwk.zip, period.

Any idea on what I need to do or fix? I can't examine the file because it seems to be immediately deleted.

Check that c:/mystic/data/archive.dat is the correct one for your version.
I've had the problem and archive.dat was the problem. You need the right
one for your version of Mystic (A31, A29 and so on). If that doesn't do it, try the protocol.dat for the same issue - for me it was always one of those two and I fought with the issue for 4 months or so. It seems totally random when it doesn't work, so is very had to track down.

Thanks, I'll look into those. I assume they are the right versions because I started with the newest version and have never upgraded anything, but still worth a look.
