UBv3 MAC problems...
« on: September 25, 2006, 06:52:57 PM »
When I try to download the v3 for mac it just opens up into a new window and shows me all of the code within the file rather than downloading an executable file; have I done something or the in there something wonky with the link/file. Thanks all. :)

Well, I clicked on the link again and it still opened it as a text file, but then I saved it to my desktop and removed the .txt extention it added, but left that .rar extention and it became an executable file - so I am not sure what happened, but it seems to be fine. Thanks all

This happens to me as well when following certain links.  For example, when downloading from G3, if I choose the "G3 Mirror" under OS X downloads, I have to option click to download, then remove the .txt that Safari for some reason adds to the end, and it's fine.  When I use the last mirror site, "Gibberlings Three," that problem doesn't come up.  *shrug*

Ahh, I see. Thanks a lot - i will keep this in mind. I only recently got my mac and apparently do not know many of the finer points of using it ;)
