Downloading from the Internet
You can use WinZip® to work with archives you download from the Internet just as you do with other archives.
If you download an archive, most Internet browsers will give you a choice of opening the archive or saving it to disk. If you choose to open the archive, you should be aware that the downloaded file will probably be deleted when the browser is closed. To avoid this problem, use the browser's "save" option and specify an easy-to-remember folder, for example, c:\download or the Desktop.
Problems Downloading? When you download a file, many things can go wrong, resulting in a damaged copy of the file that WinZip cannot open. The solution to most download-related problems is simply to download the file again. For more information on resolving Internet download-related problems, please check the WinZip web site.
Note:
Many files available for download on the Internet are executable (.exe) files. If the .exe file is a self-extracting Zip file, you can open and process it in the WinZip. The easiest way is to right click the self-extractor and choose Open with WinZip from the WinZip context menu.
