Zip file opens only app file in Mac OS
#1
Hi everyone,
I using Mac OS X 10.13.2, BitLord Torrent client. I've downloaded a torrent on my Mac OS PowerBook, which turns out to be a zip file. When I double click on the Zip file, it produces an app file of exactly the same size as the zip file. I have used several unarchivers to try to solve this. If I click on the zip file repeatedly, It opens copy after copy of that app file. When I look in the app file, Mac OS X thinks some of the files are Windows Executables. This despite the fact that I downloaded a Mac torrent. This has happened more than once, so I suspect I'm doing something wrong.
This picture shows what happens after I try to unzip the file several times.

And this one shows the structure of the app package that results.

 I realize this is an illegal torrent, but it's the only one I have handy right now. I've been deleting the others because I thought something was wrong with the downloaded file.

It most likely is a fake.

What app are you looking for that you downloaded exactly? Do you have a link to were you downloaded it?

it looks like trouble.

your mac thinks the files are windows files because they have windows extensions. you can manually change the file extensions, but if I were you, I'd delete them and find a better torrent.

since you are using different archive programs and getting the same result, i'd say the problem is with the torrent.

but, since you are using 10.13 on a powerbook... who knows?
