Hi

I think we've seen this issue before.

The current database consolodated by type (Gatso, Mobile, etc) fails
to decompress/download properly for TomTom OV2 type when using a Mac (OS-X 10.4.8, PPC proc)

The Zip file ends up either not decompressing at all (if downloaded via Safari) or decompressing with just the icon for one of the camera types (via Firefox)

The entire Zip file appears to be around 27k, which doesn't seem big enough. I recall this problem about 6 months ago, which appeared to fix itself/get fixed - just thought I should report it again and ask if any other Mac users are having probs?

Otherwise keep up the good work - and help keep the fixed & mobile driver-mugging-machines in their place (ie: not fleecing drivers out of money, and points!)

Regards,

Ashley

I have also had problem with doewnloading speed camera databse on a Mac (mac-mini, 10.4). In fact I have it every time! It doesn't seem to work with Safari but does (sort of) with MS Explorer. Although if I click oon it I get an error message, if I open Stuffit, then drop the file onto that, it does work. from there on in, everything is fine.

So my experience is: use Explorer, get latest Stuffit, drop download onto Stuffit directly.
