Okay… Maybe you guys can help me out quickly, because I’ve had it with this whole deal right now…

I was trying to download the open beta of Face of Mankind an Online Game. Well, I got all signed up, and I tried to download. Twice it told me that it had completeted in a far too early time, and of course the file was corrupted.

So I got FlashGet, a download manager. I have used one of these thigns many years ago, so I knew the deal. Just click the link and copy it and then dl it in the dowload manager. So I copied some long link into Flash Get, and it started downloading. It was about 700 MB, so I figured it was all good. Well, then I noticed that it downloaded some kind of file called a fh2.pl file that is 700MB. There is also a file called fom\_beta.exe.jc! it is ALSO 700MB. I know I didn’t download anything that large.

Here’s the link from which I downloaded it:

I clicked on the one from the Netherlands on the top-left.

I was thinking that maybe I downloaded somethign that I could possibly convert into the file I need with the proper tricks? What do you think?

sorry I figured it out.  
I tried renaming the .exe.jp! file to .zip and .exe extensions, but I forgot to do that for the .pl file!

It worked when i renamed it to .zip
