Windows Download links are DEAD

[xuul]

neither the link for downloading the x86 or x64 Windows versions are working.

Would you care to mention which links you are referring to?

I think he means the corrupt win32 zipfile from here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0

[pooler]

The archive at Sourceforge? It works for me...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/files/pooler-cpuminer-2.2.3-win32.zip

[hrobeers]

The download works, but have you tried to extract it?
I Tried on different machines with both winzip and 7zip.

I get an error that it is not a valid archive.

[xuul]

THAT is what I am talking about!!!!

I wonder if your problem couldn't be caused by the redirects at Sourceforge. What size is the invalid zipfile you get?

[hrobeers]

I can extract the files in linux like you do, but it fails in windows (same zipfile).
However, there are no issues extracting the win64 zipfile.

[pooler]

I have asked two Windows users to test the download, and both were able to unzip and run the miner with no problem. Could you please provide a checksum of the zipfile you downloaded? (I think 7-Zip can show CRC32, and one of the testers also mentioned this.)

[pooler]

No response, closing as works for me.
