Hi, I am not sure about the rules concerning replying to older posts, but maybe this will help you or someone else. I just had a similar experience and saw your question as I was looking for an answer. I then looked in iTunes on my iPad to see if the downloaded podcast went there. No luck. I can't help you with this .zip file situation, but I was able to get the Fluenz podcast that I wanted, easily, a different way. Free podcasts, including the ones from Fluenz are available from the iTunes Store. I am only familiar with Apple computers, but I think that I read once that iTunes is also available for Windows. I believe that downloaded podcasts will go straight to the iTunes application on a desktop, but this first podcast download to my iPad could not go into it's iTunes app. A pop-up from Apple while in the iTunes Store stated that a free Apple app called "Podcast" would be necessary. After downloading this "Podcast" app, I easily downloaded the Fluenz Spanish 1 podcast from the iTunes Store into the app. Of note: this app currently has many bad reviews due to a recent upgrade, hopefully Apple will resolve the issues soon. It seemed to play the podcast just fine as I messed around with it for a bit, but I literally just now got this and have not had the time to give it a good workout. So a word of caution may be in order: although this app seems very promising, due to the current negative reviews about this app on the Apple App Store, I will say to use your own judgement and; as with anything that one chooses to put on their computers, use this particular app at your own risk as there are those who are, at this point in time, making clear that they are aggravated and unhappy with this app's, (v1.2.2), current performance. As it shows six versions in 2012 and 3 versions in 2013, and Apple usually solves problems relatively quickly, I would think that this app and getting the Fluenz podcasts through the iTunes store is a good option. But I would like to know how to open and use the .zip files as well.

Hi, you need to download a podcast app first, then download the fluenz podcast files next. Hope this helps.
