Phil Wright: Great job! Andreas: You're very welcome. It's our way of letting people see the quality of our data for themselves. This exact same data set will be made available by Ed Thomas for prospective customers of the DSP Remote site as well which is where this was taken. Bill |

Abdul Thomas Jnr: This should not occur, as the data is hosted on Amazon S3 and is served out of Virginia. |

| Bill - I tried downloading the data twice. Both times Microsoft said zipped file invalid. Maybe you should look into it if you want any more processing examples. Try downloading and unzipping yourself. |

Try downloading and unzipping yourself. I downloaded the file and it unzips properly:   Bill Long - Dark Matters Astrophotography: Well, thats the trade-off for the free data. This is a common practice among sites that sell data and/or hosting. We also trust Amazon's S3 service (which is where all of our data is stored and provided from) moreso than Google Drive. -Bill |

| Bill -- The problem with the zip file appears to be that it never downloads completely. I have tried many times and get file sizes from 295megs to 368. I don't know what the file size should be, but if the file isn't complete, it certainly will not unzip. I rebooted my computer several times, and tried using Microsoft Edge instead of my usual Firefox. Every time I download the files, I get a different sized zip file. I haven't ever experienced problems unzipping files until now , and others seem to be having similar problems. Perhaps Amazon somehow is to blame. I appreciate what you are doing, and have continued pursuing this issue so others can use the files as a learning experience. |

There's thousands of successful downloads of this data so I think things are fine on the S3 side. If you're using VPN provider, that could be causing some issues? Just a guess. |

Thank you very much for the Data. The only regret in my life is that i downloaded Bill's data in the past with so many setups but it is gone due to a virus or ransomed hack, i wish to get that data back, it is big files with several setup he was using back in the future, it was nice a big reference for me, but i know he will not put it back again somewhere to download free, but it is ok, i keep going, i got enough data around, and this one here is nice one. |
