First thing I'd suggest is to make sure you're reading from the =20
correct folder. From the error message, I'd say you're trying to find =20
a file in /home/steven/Desktop even though you're downloading from a =20
server. If you've copied this locally, that would make sense. But if =20
you're downloading from the site, the odds are that you're creating =20
the zip file in a folder that isn't that one.

So check your folders, make sure you're a) creating the .zip file =20
in the right place and b) that you're trying to download that .zip =20
from the same place.

Also, you're creating the file with the extension .jpg.zip.zip, =20
which strikes me as being *very* wrong. If you've created =20
bnk1.jpg.zip, and it's trying to d/l bnk1.jpg.zip.zip , then it's =20
never going to work.
