Plusnet Thomson ADSL Router: Firmware Locked?

macman

OK, I have installed the upgrade ST wizard which works fine. I am using the firmware file from this link:
https://support.xilo.net/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=36&nav=0,11,12,17
But when I try to extract it (zip file) I just get an error message 'unknown compression method'.
So in a bit of a dead end now.
Does anyone have another download source please?
Edit: sorry; should have said, when I extract it again I get a filename ending in '.zip.cpgz', which the upgrade ST wizard does not recognise as a valid file-it should be a .BIN file I think?

The file is okay for me because I just downloaded it. It extracts to a bin file so your download must of gone screwy. So d/l again.

Unzips fine to a .bin file fine for me using 7zip.

You were right, I downloaded it again, it extracted OK and ran the file via upgrade ST.
Result-one unlocked router.
Many thanks to everyone who offered advice and help.
