I don't know ASPNET MVC so well, but it sure looks like, from Fiddler's perspective, there is a zipfile there.

\r\n

It looks like it's working.

What I suggest, to help diagnmose and troubleshoot, is to send a MemoryStream that you fill with other content.  Content not from a ZipOutputStream.

\r\n

See if the FileStreamResult works with that content. then, when you get that sorted, add the ZipOutputStream back in.

i'm sorry. The problem was that I called controller via ajax $.post

\r\n

now I call it (like clicking a link):

\r\n

\r\n

\r\n
window.location.href = '@Url.Action(\"Download\", \"Template\")?templates=' + allVals\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

and it works now? 

\r\n

There's no reason why an AJAX call shouldn't also work.  On the other hand, if you're using ajax in the traditional way, then you'd be getting a zipfile into the Javascript program space in the browser, and you'd need to read the zipfile from that environment.  Which is not so simple.
