IMPORTANT - .Mac screwed up .tar.gz files

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

At first, I could not believe the problems some people reported about errors. But I have now found out that the tar.gz files downloaded from .Mac are in fact corrupt. The sympton of this corruption is that there is a stray Readme file and the app generates the ominous 1708 error. I could not reproduce that, because the .tar.gz file I put on my local iDisk is just fine, only the version transferred to .Mac is broken (and it affects only files in the Public folder). This is a nightmare. Anyway, I just archived the files to .zip and changed the link on VT and MU (but it may take a while until they fix the links). So for now use this link to get the zip http://homepage.mac.com/reinholdpenner/.Public/CaminoKnight%202.4.zip

IMPORTANT - .Mac screwed up .tar.gz files - jchuzi

I downloaded Camino Knight 2.5 via Version Tracker and got the same -1708 error as the previous version. I tried the link that Reinhold Penner posted, and got an error message at .Mac. Finally, I used the link to Developer's Site on the VT page, downloaded CK again, installed it, and everything worked beautifully. The interface seems to be the same as Firefix, which also works wonderfully well.
