Less than glorious I'm afraid.... the zip file is corrupted.

The error message is correct, because the file size is 194 KB.
Try to download it again.

Thanks for the feedback guys...4th attempt worked a charm.


Runar...

while I can't help but admire your noble efforts to feed Africa, it's a pity you had to sacrifice Sierra Leone, Liberia, The Ivory Coast, Ghana, Gabon, and large parts of Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon. 8)

Ouch! ... that's gotta hurt! :

Hate to keep this thread going, but I just found another site that is selling Celestia, under a completely different cover and label. It is an eBay site in India. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.in/Celestia-explore-our-universe-in-three-dimensions_W0QQitemZ330099153999QQcategoryZ137069QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

Franck, we are far from the Vrtube case; the guys is selling Celestia (he is not trying to sell something under another name), first time I see this artwork so I supose it's his own (apart the icon of course)...
The guy has done and effort to match the official look (font, icon), so clearly I think there is no fraud on the product. I'll send him a mail to see if he can add a mention of the license. (BTW, what is this RS curency? 35RS-> ??U$)

EDIT: I'm unable to create the ebay account :? (problem with the form)
Is there someone with an ebay account kind enough to ask the guy about the license?

RS is the abbreviation for the Indian Rupee. In USD, he's got a 'Buy It Now' price of 79 cents, and a shipping charge of $1.36.

Off course I noticed; 79 cents seems to be an honorable fee to pack the soft, but indeed would be nice to see a "GPL License" mention somewhere...
(Same for the Brazilian site...)
