Comment:

 > this was fixed, no?

 The underlying cause in one specific case was, yes.

 The non-user-friendlyness of the error in the event it does happen in the
 future, is not.

 Punting to future pending a patch to give a better error.

 I'd suggest something similar to this:
 {{{
 if ( error == PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT )
 error = 'Download incomplete, Please try again, or seek help in the
 support forumsif problem persists'
 }}}
