Could those be fixed up? Some of the hacks from the Incarnation 3 ROM-Hacking Related Releases forum were posted via the attachment system and now they can't be downloaded anymore (as well as some other things on the old board).

It might help to specify which files are broken. Also, have you tried the archive on ||bass's server?

Well the attachments on ||bass' archive work (actually it occurred to me to use their archive just after posting this thread

) but none (thats right, 0) of the attachments from our archive3 work.

I visited some random pages in the archive3 screenshot thread, and tried the first three attachments I could find. I tried two pictures and an IPS patch. All of them loaded normally.

I mean the attachments that were uploaded to the board for people to download (see ROM Hacking Related Releases and you should see what I mean).

The files I tested were all uploaded using the board's attachment feature.

This attachment doesn't work (like all the others in RHRR). Click it and you'll see what I mean.

That's the same thing that happens when you try to use "View image" on someone's avatar on this board. I think it's some sort of quirk in the server; Xk/bh89 will have to clear up exactly what it is.

The problem is that download.php is not setting the correct MIME type in the HTTP headers. Your browser thinks it is a plain text file because that is what the server is (wrongly) telling it.

You can still save the file by right clicking on it. It is a normal intact ZIP file.

So after I download it I just rename it from download.php to hack.zip or whatever?

That should work. If not, you're probably using a sucky browser.
