Question Failure to initialize

I downloaded Opera/Eudora the other night and when I went to install it, I got this message, "Could not initialize installation, file size expected =11567395, size returned=6867657 This is only valid in Win32 mode." And it wouldn't load.
I thought it was because I was using Mozilla(sounded good then?) So I downloaded using Ie-6 with similar results, different numbers I think, but an exact lack of success.
What am I doing wrong?
How to make it right?
Thanks...

For some reason the files you downloaded got corrupted in the process. Best thing to do is delete them and download again. Hope you have DSL/cable modem.
You may want to try another download program, esp. one that's not spyware (GoZilla, right?). I used to use it and then switched to Download Accelerator (download.com)- it's free, too, with no spyware.

I have dial-up modem but it normally works ok. I was running Mozilla, is that the same as Gozilla? I thought Gozilla was full of banner ads and such, I will try again.
Thanks

No - Gozilla is an addon download manager. Mozilla is a browser.

If you want to download Opera, get it from an Opera server, and if you want Eudora, download it from a Eudora server.

Hi glc,
I was using Mozilla the browser to go to the Opera site when I got the message above. So I tried Ie-6 (the browser) and got same sort of message. I was downloading from the Opera site as I just went to try again and retraced my steps to see what funky place I may have been in, and it was the Opera site.
I am gonna try again but I am curious what may have happened considering the above circumstances. A plot to keep Opera "offline"

It's a great day, eh?

yeah - the java version of Opera should be around 11 megs - if yours wound up at 6 something its an incomplete download. Try a different mirror for your download - I use the official Norway FTP, not one of the US mirror sites.
