ZIP download?

For many years, I had a "homepage" on the server of my Norwegian internet provider. Since the first of November, they have terminated that service. When asked, they answered: Find a free server!

Which I did: FreeHostingEU.

It works fine. But then, I have a couple of X-Plane flight simulator models that I distribute that way. The link works fine but when I click the link to the ZIP file, it comes back with a 404 page from FreeHostingEU.

Does this mean that the site can link HTML pages but not a download of a ZIP file?

I ask Yahoo! Answers because, since FreeHorstingEU is free, I don't expect customer service.

Thanks in advance.

    I'm going to assume that since this is a free service, they are going to block non-web related files like zip files. They will probably only allow standard web files like HTMl files and images.
