    Hello Community!  

    I just cloned the repo for DNN 7.x releases to grab 7.1.2, but the zip files won't open.  They're corrupted or something.  Is anyone else running into this? 🤔

      @Will the last time this happened, it was because DNN Corp had not paid their bill. These repos use LFS and that is a paid feature. That said, I have a personal backup (and I believe a few others do as well). If you need a specific package, just let me know. 😉👍🏼

        Oh, I meant to say, check the filesize for the ZIP. The last time this happened, they were 0 bytes.

          Downloading them is working for me, now they do use git LFS for storage which means if you clone the repository you will need git LFS available locally by running:
          git lfs install

          Which will allow you to do:
          git lfs pull

          Alternativelly if you have lfs installed and you did not clone yet, you can run:
          git clone --recurse-submodules repository-url

            Thanks, gents. I got this figured out.  💪🏽 

            First, I forgot about the LFS thing, but it was already installed.  That led me to look into the repo again.  Apparently, when it cloned the last time, it didn't do a full pull.  I had to delete and re-clone the repo to get the LFS files in.
