i downloaded a zip file, but it was converted to a .bin file on completion of download. i am unable to extract the zip files from it now. Neither unarchiver nor stuffit is extracting the files.
Help please.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), TiBook G4, iPhone 3GS
Change the extension back to .zip.
Nope. Tried that. Neither stuffit, nor unarchiver, nor zipeg recognizes the file. Help again please.
You likely downloaded a Linux self-extracting binary file. Not what you want for OS X. Recheck the file origin.
Nope. Not the case. The file was listed as a zip. Downloaded. It was downloading as a zip, but as soon as download was completed it showed as a .bin file. Could not change to a .zip and could not open it. It was certainly not a Linux file. Am a bit confused by it.
Please post a link to the download.
Do you have Safari set to open "safe" files after downloading? Maybe this file consists of a zipped bin file. What is the actual URL?
zip/bin files
