RE: MetaLink corrupting tar.gz uploads?

Thanks everyone for your replies on- and off-list. I did send Feedback and the analyst that replied stated the files on their end were indeed OK. From other information gathered, the culprit may be WinZIP used by Support that doesn't know how to handle gzip'd tarballs.

Now I know, and knowing is half the battle. GI Joe!

Subject: MetaLink corrupting tar.gz uploads?

Hey all,

Sort of OT, but has anyone else had issues uploading tar.gz archives (e.g. RDA output) via MetaLink's SR File Upload? Every time I do, the tech claims it's corrupted. I've supplied some MetaLink feedback, but thought I'd ask here. What really burns me is when I don't hear about it for a week and they ask me to upload it again. What if I don't have it a week later????

It can't just be me, can it?

Rich
