Decompression error

i downloaded the GBC file: Harvest_Moon_GBC_2_(U)_[C][!][1].zip and when i went to decompress it i got
an error message. i have winzip 10.0 and 7zip 9.25 alpha and i tried to decompress the rom with winzip 8.0 and 7zip 9.21 beta as well. 7zip says that an unsupported compression method was used to creat the zip file.
so i'm wandering if any one has had the same issue and if they were able to fix it?

I tested this rom again and it seems to work for me. Can some of the other guys download a test this as well just to make sure please.

I'm sorry, I was unclear about the error messages that i got when trying to decompress the rom.
The error message for Winzip is:
Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): disk#1 offset: 0.

The error message for 7Zip is:
Unsupported compression method for 'Harvest Moon GBC 2 (U) [C][!].gbc'.
as i stated before, i have tried to decompress the rom with WInZip 8.0,10.0 and 7Zip 9.21 beta,9.25 alpha.
i hope that this information is helpful in some way.

The rom on the webserver must have become faulty. Can you test some others for me and I will look into uploading them again.

I live your avatar btw.
