Hi Judy. That must be some book!I downloaded it just fine, I'm lucky to have high-speed connectivity because the file took a long time to download. However, that's where my luck ran out.
I couldn't open the file with ie7, firefox 3.5 or Kurzweil 10.05. In each case my system hung up and required a dishonorable reboot. I expect this has something to do with the large file-size, but have no proof of that.
I also downloaded the Braille version, and will try to open it with Kurzweil next.
Fortunately I didn't even try getting the book with images. Hope this information helps. If I get it to open somehow I'll let you know. Bob (who loves a challenge, but his system doesn't)."We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make,"

Thanks, Doug! Another list member tried it, too, using IE8, and she couldn't get the daisy file to work, the way I can't either. But if you can, than the file can't be corrupt. Not sure what I'm going to try next, but support suggested I call them next week if I can't get it to work on my system. I may end up doing that.Judy Doug Maples wrote:It took me a while to find it because the 2009 in the title comes beforeWriter's Market. I was searching the other way around until I clicked on thelink you put in. No problem downloading and opening it. Unzipping was a breeze.

I've tried downloading the title "Writer's Market 2009" five times now, on three different days. I've used Firefox and Seamonkey both, and tried downloading all three types of downloads it's available in: the DAISY file, the Daisy with images file and the brf file. I'm using a dial-up link, and this is a fairly large book, so it's slow, but I download tons of stuff regularly and don't have problems. My browsers say that that all the zips download successfully, but I know they haven't as the finished zip file size is anywhere from 200K to 800K smaller than it should be. When I test the zip file, or try to open it, both winzip and 7zip say that it isn't a valid archive. I contacted support, and support sent me back an email right away that said they tested it and can open the zip without any trouble. If someone could download and then open the DAISY version of this for me, to see if a member can get it to work correctly, and then let me know the results, I'd be really grateful.
