Green Lime	Mr. Fixigreen here. When I put in my url download and hit submit it brings up this "Error: failed to access http://dbghome.mvhosted.com/SpiderDesktopEmulation.zip" Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

SSJ2GohanDBGT	When I try to open that link in my browser it does nothing. Loads up a blank page, in fact. I'm not sure WHY its doing that, but I can tell you its not the HUB.

In order to save bandwidth, the hub tries to get the size of your zipfile without actually downloading it. It asks the web server to only send headers and not the actual file. Size is one of the standard headers that any web server should send for a static file. But yours is not sending it for some reason.

I suppose in cases like this, the hub should then go ahead and download the whole file so it can get an accurate size. I'll see if I can make it do that.
