Hi!
I'm having a problem with installing FUD forum Sad

I've downloaded the .zip file (by just clicking the download link) unzipped it and uploaded it with Cute FTP.
I get past step 1 and then I get this message:

"Archive did pass checksum test, CORRUPT ARCHIVE!
If you've encountered this error it means that you've:
downloaded a corrupt archive
uploaded the archive in ASCII and not BINARY mode
your FTP Server/Decompression software/Operating System added un-needed cartrige return (' ') characters to the archive, resulting in archive corruption."

I've tried re-downloading it and unzipping it in various ways and re-uploading it but nothing seems to be working.
I've noticed that when I upload the file it seems to be 1kb less than the original. Could this be the problem?

Or do I have to upload it in ASCII mode?
If so please could somebody explain how Smile

I would be really grateful!
Thanks!
-Olly

P.S, I am using Windows 98 if that affects anything Smile

You should upload the archive in BINARY mode. Sometimes when going via a Windows box winzip or the ftp application decides to add \r to the file corrupting the archive.
