Hi,
When the process is worked out, can someone go up and tweak the blog post on

Thanks.

I think I have figured out the problem.  The .pdf files are corrupt.
Try opening the start page in the root directory of the download after
unarchiving it.  Try opening any of the links to the PDF files.
Hopefully, other file types are OK but I have not verified (other than the
initial HTML file).
