What's with the TPR DL Depot?

What's with the Trainz Pro Routes Download Depot?
Its all screwed up, every link on it you click just comes up with an endless list of orange bars. Been like this for months now.

I have to ask, are you logged in when you try to download? The situation you describe only happens to me if I try to download and am not. Check your control panel to be 100% sure as some message boards and security software will delete the cookies you need to stay logged in after just a few minutes. There are other issues with TPR though, such as files displaying as gibberish.

You have to be logged in to download. The page you are seeing is an error message (search for the lette 't' to see the message).

Alright, you had me on the log in issue, it seems I have was not logged in.
Is this never ending page of scripting and stuff what you were referring to as the gibberish?
That's what I am getting now. Almost immediately after I click the DL link.

Yes, it's the actual file contents. However, you still should be able to save the file using your browser's File->Save As function.

Not all TPR files are like this, but a lot are. Especially the newer ones it seems.

The problem is their "backup" server doesn't understand that a .cdp file is something to be downloaded as file and not displayed on screen.
If they are using a .htaccess file to secure the directory the files are in they need to add this to the .htaccess file:
<filesmatch "\.cdp$"> header set Content-Disposition . </filesmatch>

Or add .cdp as a meme to the httpd conf file.

Thanks RRSignal, I got it figured out doing essentially what William just posted.

Moderators can feel free to close or get rid of the thread unless some others need to come here with the same issue.

Cheers,

I have experienced this when using Firefox, but using IE it works as normal.
