...or is there something wrong with Olly Debugger's downloadable zips?
http://www.ollydbg.de/

also, since i can't seem to use that site, does anyone know of a working mirror at which i can download Olly Debugger

Works for me. Here.

what i men is that the files are corrupted on download. i can download them fine, but the problem arises when i try to open them.

I had the same problem took me ages to find a zip file that would actually extract

as stated before the files seem fine at this end.

if you can get your hands on the zip that was here
DOWN: "http://www.tinicat. de/hacnho/OllyICE_Gift_From_hacnho.zip "

you would have a head start

Use another browser.. or.. not IE .. i always use IE, but for ollydbg download firefox/opera .. seems like firefox/opera is still good for something hehe..
