downlaoding UIs
 

OK, so i'm trying to download these new uis from the website but whenever i download it, it downloads as a rar file, but when i open it its a pdf on adobe, any ideas whats going wrong? because im stumped and so is everyone i have asked.
thanks in advance

a rar file is almost exactly like a zip file. If i recall correctly a rar file is just compressed more. You can get winrar to open that for you. Thats what I use.
Its not free after 40 days, but you can use 7-zip which is totally free.

nope, didnt do anything to it, just stays the same, it just trys to open as a pdf but my adobe cant read it.

Sounds like you accidentally tried to open a rar file with adobe at some point.

Try rightclicking the file and choose "open with", then pick whatever program you have that can unpack a rar file. That should hopefully solve your problem.

Considering Windows comes with .zip utilities, I -still- don't understand why WoWI didn't stick with .zip only.

If using Windows you might wanna try shift+rightclicking the icon if you do not see "open with" when you leave off the shift.

Not everyone uses Windows, and RAR files have a far superior compression algorithm; some people can't fit everything into a ZIP file.

That confused me. There's no arbitrary limit to how much can be put in a zip file. Nor is there with a rar file.

Elaborate for me, so i can stop being confused?

You are correct, but there is an upload size limit on wowi, however. ;)

Yes but i use Vista and i cant find the usual vista built in program that i use for normally downloading addons from curse.com. anyone who can tell me where to find the file location?

Tried this program again, worked brilliant, thanks alot. and thanks for the replys

Ahh, thank you thank you. Sometimes the completely obvious passes right by me :)
