When I try to download a skin in .prc format, I instead get a file named 'download.php'. I can download .zip files. As a side note, I can download .prc files from other sites. I've checked this on two different machines, so I don't think it is some configuration weirdness.

click on download, I get 'download.php'

I'm running OS X (10.2) Jaguar
I've tested with
InternetExplorer, Safari, and Navigator

thanks all

In Internet Explorer, try right-clicking the link, then choose "Save Target as". That might work, but do Macs even have two buttons, or are they still using one-button? I don't keep up to date with them. But I have found that the Save Target As works sometimes when just simply clicking a link doesn't.

For the record, my one button mouse sits on my shelf looking pretty and my multibutton kensington trackball does the work. :)

It's a good thought, but unfortunately, I've tried the 'Save Target As' with no luck. Having asked around, it is apparently a fairly common problem with php code that is not quite correct.

Just in case anyone else runs into this problem, the solution is that the 'download.php' file is actually the correct file, you just need to rename it. A pain, but at least there is a workaround.
