Re: cannot open ant 1.6.5 zip file

There are known file size limitations when downloading via Internet Explorer
(IE) 6 and 7.  More specifically, IE 6 has a 2GB file size limit, and IE 7
has a 4GB file size limit. TRy downloading files using other browser like
firefox

Re: cannot open ant 1.6.5 zip file

Thanks for this OMG moment, really ;)

Attack of the Giga Ants...

BTT: The apache-ant-1.6.5-bin.zip should be 9.835 KB big (say 10 MB), so 
the download is just not complete and the archive is corrupted. I tried 
this too with Firefox today, it's corrupt too (downloaded size around 
4.8 MB), so the problem is most probably not on your side.

So, who's the maintainer? It looks like an old error to me.
