In windows ,the program asks the file that auto-generate by itself to be owned by user ROOT, but i logged as administrator.
No, the ZIP file is oke. It's probably your connection which is too slow. The webserver is protected against clients who read to slow and therefor keep connections open for too long. Please, try again via a faster connection (+50kb/s).
The windows Zip file is faulty
