ZIP files download with an error.

Every time I download a .zip file and try to unstuff it i get an error with the file. I checked in Safari to see if it's a file problem but they files unstuff just fine.

Any clue?

What sort of error, and from what server(s)?

And do you use StuffIt to unzip it or OS X’s built in service (called BOM Archive Helper) ?

That was the problem. It was trying to unstuff it using Stuffit. I set it to that all .zip files unstuff in the OSX native service. Thanks.

/me throws Stuffit off a bridge

An even better choice is The Unarchiver.
