zip file of folder downloaded with "dl=1" is corrupt
I'm having issues when downloading a Dropbox folder as a zip file using wget and "dl=1".
If I use the Dropbox website to download the folder through the web interface, I'm able to download the folder as a zip file and unzip it without problems.
But if I try to use wget with "dl=1" to download the folder as a zip file, the zip file that I get is corrupt and can't be unzipped.
Comparing the size of the zip files downloaded using the two methods, it looks like the zip file downloaded via wget and "dl=1" is smaller in size than the zip file downloaded via the web interface.
I've been using Dropbox for about 3 years, and the wget/"dl=1" method has been working fine this entire time, up until yesterday.
Can someone help?

- sigsegvExplorer | Level 4I did not reach out by email, but it seems the problem has been fixed. Maybe it was DanWilfer's ticket that prompted the fix.
Thank you for your help!
- MarkSuper User IICan I suggest you both log a ticket at www.dropbox.com/support which you can then track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com ?
As this is a user supported forum it may be that the issue isnt picked up otherwise.
