Installing polymer from zip file is not possible!

[babak bagherzadeh]

The downloaded file is only 1k with no use, would you fix it please?

Thank you.

It sounds like the service we use for zips is having issues today

Hmm, let's consider writing zips proactively (to gstatic?) via a scheduled job, rather than on demand. That way the worst that could happen is a stale zip.

Alternatively, maybe we can make this part of the release process?

Big +1 for that.

[Rob Dodson]

ah but I just remembered... I think bower zipper lets you pick and choose what goes into your bundle

[hazd...@gmail.com]

Is there any other way to download the zip now?

[Rob Dodson]

I would strongly recommend using bower instead of the zip. In the long run you'll want to resort to bower anyway for managing dependencies. We're looking into the busted zip server

Yea, I'm not sure how we'd upload predefined permutations of all the zips people can create. 

Ian, https://github.com/PolymerLabs/bowerzipper/issues/10 would be a good one to fix.

Hi there.

I think this is still broken. I tried downloading "ZIP" archives, but getting a extensionless file, with bytecode contents.

Suggested alternative?

[nino....@gmail.com]

I found out that suggested alternative (at least by my logic) is to use GitHub zips.
