Theres a funny problem with IIS 6.0 under Windows 2003.

I have site: http://somerandomsite.com and https://somerandomsecuresite.com

Now I can place files such as .doc, .xls, .ppt, .mp3 etc in the site folder and download from another machine fine.

The problem is that some file extensions such as .rar, .zip, .iso, .avi wont download. Clicking the link results in Error 404.... which is confusing when the files are deffinatly there and it only happens with files of similar extensions :confused:

What could be causing this?
 
Fixed it. Had to create new MIME types under Website properties for each of the new file extensions.

Works a treat now and posting incase anyone else ever has a similar problem.
