Hi,

I am having the non-existent password issue too. I am having the problem with multi-part ZIP archives created from a single large QuickTime source (about 1.2GB split into 300MByte segments). The Multi-part archives were created in BetterZIP 1.7.3. No password was set. On the machine they are created on they decompress fine. No password is needed. I then transfer the ZIPs to AmazonS3 using Transmit 3.6.6. On my remote workstation I Remote Access in, download the segmented ZIPs and suddenly the files require a non-existent password to open (and therefore can't be opened). I have tested and replicated this issue on a 2004 PowerMac G5 (2x2Ghz) and a 2007 Mac Pro (2xdaul core 2.66Ghz Xeon). Have tested compressing and decompressing on each one. Both machines run OS X 10.5.5.

I am only evaluating the BetterZip software now (demo mode) but I really do have a need for creating multi-part archives and if this issue is fixed would buy licenses asap.

Thanks,
Daniel
