when i got to install a theme the noetload module shows up. when i click download it says downloaded but invalid zipfile. I noticed all of the package names had a [1] in the name. os this correct?
if it is a problem how do i fix it?

if you are specifying a .zip at the end, dont. instead, use .dll, ie..

*NetLoadModule $modulesdir$lsxcommand-1.9.4.dll

NLM will do its magic and extract then rename the right file.

I could explain where the [1] is coming from, but meh. It's wrong. It will probably work on the machine the theme was created on because of IE's cache, but that's it. You don't want the .dll at the end or the path either, but NLM anticipates this error and removes them.

It should be just:

*NetLoadModule lsxcommand-1.9.4

The reason you get invalid zip file instead of file not found is because of loose-screws. It still returns empty files instead of proper http errors.

ah, didnt know that - cheers RC

i use modules.shellfront.org

@RabidCow - could the next version of NLM perhaps do some sort of file size checking so as to avoid that problem? I know that the *proper* thing to do would be to fix Loose-Screws, but who knows when that will happen?

That's a good point, I'll try to add that.

@bloodyHannibal: check your root step.rc. Loose-Screws is probably listed as a *NetLoadModuleSite, and you do want it there, really.
