    [​IMG] When I select "download Fade", "download Tsujatha" or "download Saerileth", it says on the pop-up box indicating that I can start the download that they are .rar , or unknown, files. So how the heck do I install them? Do they go in the override folder or something? :hmm:

    @Gastong - when you run .rar files, doesn't it come up with a message saying "please select the programme you would like to run this in" or something, or is that me being dumb?

    True. 7z files tend to be even better compressed (and thus smaller) than RAR, though.

    There are a few other formats that compress a bit better than RAR, but the price for it is relative obscurity for anyone but the most computer-savvy people.
