Same X Version, Why the difference between the Friday newest experimentals-----this week X2194 at 6.334KB and the Automatic Builds Open Rails X2194 2014-04-23 20-39-51.zip (12.664KB)? Just curious. Got something to do with cleaning up the files, compliling, ---- can I keep on guessing all the wrong things?

The uploaded zips are the same size (6.2MB) but studying the downloaded zip it looks like it is sending the content of the file back twice. The actual file on the server is 6.2MB but everything is sent through a dynamic processor (to handle the other dynamic parts of /projects on my site) so it must have a bug with binary files. I'll have a look.

The contents you will extract from the nightly builds will be 100% correct - the zip format will just ignore one half of the file with a shrug.

Okay, it is fixed now. I also added a small improvement with my code so that it reports the file size back, so the browser gets a progress indication.

Thanks, James. I installed and ran both, no difference. That's what invited curiosity.
