"The Archive is either in unknown format or damaged."

This error starting happening today. Example:

 

Outcasts and Remnants v1.4 has been up on Nexus since June 7th, 2019. About 16k people have downloaded v1.4. Some people who are downloading it today, including me, are receiving the following error when they try to open the downloaded zip file (the main file in the files section) from their desktop:

 

"C:\Users\(User)\Desktop\Outcasts and Remnants-21469-1-40-1559975792.zip The Archive is either in unknown format or damaged."

 

V1.4 is the exact same file that's been up there since June 7th and the download worked fine until today.

I've downloaded the v1.4 file twice this morning 45 minutes apart and get the same error each time. Those downloads were from the Chicago (USA) Premium server.

 

But not everyone is getting the same error. So I just tried downloading the file from the Los Angeles (USA) Premium server and it works fine.

 

Can someone at Nexus please look into why the error is happening on the Chicago server, and perhaps other servers as well? -thanks

Singapore (ASIA) Premium --> Downloaded without error, but zip was corrupted

Chicago (USA) Premium --> Downloaded without error, but zip was corrupted

Los Angeles (USA) Premium --> Downloaded correctly

 

Download time was about 5 minutes.

The first 0x80000 bytes of the corrupted zip file were all null.

I've just flushed that file from all of the CDN nodes and can confirm the md5sum for all files is the same now as
