Error unzipping file with Ubuntu: "Invalid central directory signature" #128

Closed jeffrosenblum closed 6 years ago

Hi Anthony, I might just be the most unlucky. I'm now having trouble with the archive package using Ubuntu (which use the unix libarchive). No problem with the 2009 zip file, but no-go on the 2015 and 2014 5-year csv_pus.zip. I submitted an issue to jimhester, but don't expect anything to come out of that.

Wondering if you would consider adding an option for manually extracting the downloads? options( "lodown.unzip.auto" = FALSE ) with a default of TRUE?

Instead of calling the archive command archive::archive_extract( tf , dir = tempdir() ) it could prompt the user to manually extract files and then hit enter to continue?

Thanks for considering.

sorry, i'd rather not do this. i'll try to integrate the acs into perpetual testing soon, so issues like this disappear
