Actually, 2 different machines, 2 different networks, 2 different OSs.
Tested with IE and Avantbrowser. Tested via a test link in the download
entry page and again via the public link. Then tested via RunRev on the
direct link to make sure it was copied correctly (you wouldn't believe
my bad luck if I dont test something)...

I could zip it but then you couldn't open it directly. Someone did manage
to open it directly via the url so I guess it is possible. I tried every 
url binfile command combos and couldn't either!

But, like me, you can do a right-click->save link as... and then open it 
directly in runrev from the HD without unzipping which is how most other 
web sites have done. Either way, it doesn't change the normal download
process, avoids the decompression and may work if you try via RR... And
if it does, you have to save it again anyway! Where's the shortcut? ;))

RevOnline requires me to click some 50 times before it starts to DL the
stack, there is no stats, no comments, so not practical, maybe when RO
matures...

Is this satisfactory? I guess not, im not pleased with it either. So why
keep the downloads this way? 1 PHPNuke is my web CMS and im not ready to
give it up until XOS runs over PHP (not soon). PHPNuke provides me and 
you the top ten, version, size, notes, user comments, stories, and 
popularity stats (ie # of downloads). Revonline or a simple url (and a 
parse of weblogs) doesn't. Last but not least, im 
not happy at all with the feedback I get from this list, so the number
of downloads is all I got to see whether a stack is usefull or not. 

Im not about to change the benefits of PHPNuke unless I completely
stop devoting 25% of my free time to sharing free stuff over my free
website. If you browser doesn't recognize the "rev" file type (like 
it does for htm, html, xml, txt, css, js, etc... then seriously, 
consider changing browser, complaining to MacSupport or fniding out why
it doesn't (In MS exploiter, it asks you what you want to do with that
file type and what program should open it,  surely safary asks what
bullets
to use to kill a bull or an elephant no? ;)
