Multi-part excercise file instructions

Please print out and read these instructions carefully.

The exercise files that accompany this training are very large files. To reduce the download time, they have been divided into segments and compressed into both zipped (.zip) and stuffed (.sitx) file formats.

Step 1: Download the files

The download is segmented, which means the download has been broken into parts for you. You must download all segments before you can unzip or unstuff the exercise files. This ensures the exercise files on your computer will match the order and structure shown in the video training.

Windows

Macintosh

Download all files with .z file extensions

Example:

ExerciseFiles.zip
ExerciseFiles.z01
ExerciseFiles.z02
ExerciseFiles.z03

Download all files with .sitx file extensions

Example:

ExerciseFiles.part01.sitx
ExerciseFiles.part02.sitx
ExerciseFiles.part03.sitx

The segments will take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours to download. We suggest that you download at night so they'll be there in the morning for you. For those on cable modems, DSL, T1 or greater, you should have no problems downloading these files as long as you adhere to these specifications.

Step 2: Uncompress the files

We have broken the exercise files into parts to make them faster and easier to download. The complete files for this title are re-assembled from the segments. Therefore, all of the segments must be downloaded before you can begin to uncompress them.

Note: Unzipping/unstuffing the segments individually may result in errors or incomplete exercise files.

Windows

Macintosh

WinZip required:

You must have the latest version of WinZip in order to open the files once they are downloaded."

Unzipping process:

Double-click on the .zip file. This will launch WinZip. Choose the "Extract" option and instruct WinZip to extract the files to your desktop when prompted. This will begin the unzipping and reassembly process for all segmented files*.

StuffIt Expander required:

You must have the latest version of StuffIt Expander in order to open the files once they are downloaded.

Unstuffing process:

Double click on the first .sitx file named '.part01.sitx'. This will launch StuffIt Expander. This will begin the unstuffing and reassembly process for all segmented files*.

*It may take up to an hour or more (depending on your processor speed) to reassemble the complete assets folder.

The assets folder, once reassembled, will contain all the exercise files and is the folder you will use during training.

Technical support

We apologize if any of this seems inconvenient; unfortunately large files are part of working with digital media.
