Hi, I just got through the videos but when I go to download the dog from the site it gives me a HTML file and it gives me a wall of text after I open it. Is the file down?
Strange, I was having the same problem downloading the .psd file but I just tried it again and it's working.
I have the same problem, when I go to blendswap and try to download it, it gives me an HTML file. Did you fix it?
I might have been unclear. I mean the this link https://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/66325 . When you come here and download the link it just gives you a HTML file and it opens line of code(?) This is the screen after downloading the bull dog. 
In the meantime are you opposed to us rigging a different model of a quadruped and sending it in, or is it best to wait?
point Sure go ahead and rig a different quadruped. Just mention in the submission description that the dog download is broken.
Just by looking at the HTML file created at blendsawap they are running that on a Linux apache2 setup. I am suprised you got the file to unzip in linux, I fired up my ubuntu virtual server and tried it there with no success. I had zero success on the Windows and Mac machines in the house as well.
