Thanks for the suggestion. Based on the test below, there does seem to be a problem with accessing DropBox.
New script: put url "https://dl.dropbox.com/s/6fpl18ihvt7ffbl/test-image.zip"; into file1 put the length of file1 into L1 put url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/test-image.zip"; into file2 put the length of file2 into L2 put "dropbox " & L1 & "<br>" & "generic " & L2 The result I get here still shows the DropBox file to have a length of 0, yet the test file downloads as expected when accessed via a browser. dropbox 0 generic 483575 Any other suggestions?
