Hello,

I've been having a mass unzipping of the all the items I bought in December and did the freebies while I was at it. However, I haven't been able to take the files out of three zip folders, is there something unusual about them?

KMC_SSEmb_TisTheSeason_Special.zip it is asking for a password
JZI_SnowandMistletoeSpecial_WA.zip I'm being told there is nothing in the folder
BMU_WesChristmas_Special.zip the folder is 8000kb but I get an error saying there is nothing to extract

Any suggestions? As I've got different messages I've assumed it is not user error...?

Kate, I have unzipped:
KMC_SSEmb_TisTheSeason_Special
JZI_SnowandMistletoeSpecial_WA
and I didn't have any trouble with either of them.
I didn't get BMU_WesChristmas_Special.

I'm not sure why you are getting those messages - maybe someone else will come along with some information for you.

Usually, messages like that are download errors. What you can try is deleting the zip file and re-downloading the file. Sometimes you need to download to a new location, like your desktop instead of the downloads folder. Unfortunately, I don't think any of these are still available for download.

I had the same problem with KMC_SSEmb_TisTheSeason_Special. I downloaded it again a couple of times, always the same message asking for a password. I finally gave up! No problem with the other freebies, though.
Thanks to scrapgirls for the Christmas freebies! They were lovely!

Oh well, at least I feel better that it wasn't just me

Yes sometimes downloads are corrupt for some reason! Another reason to unzip your freebies fast, which I never find time to do either!

I'm sorry to hear that you had difficulty unzipping my freebie. I do not use any type of passwords on my files, I'm not exactly sure why you would get that message. I'll see what I can find out.
