Download DSL from my signature. It will work perfectly.

No, it shouldn't be an internet thing. You might be downloading the HTML link itself instead of the file... but I'm not quite sure.

Which link are you clicking? And didn't I tell you to just download it from my signature?

No, Internet Explorer is stupid.

Firefox works fine. What happens when you click the icon? What should happen is that a little window will pop up and say "Do you wish to download this file" or something like that. Click Save or Open or whatever you need to (I click save normally). Then it will save it and you can put it in you r game or wherever it needs to be.

Does the file work as normal?

I thought my DSL download was NOOBPROOF. I guess I was wrong. Some people don't even know how to download and play?

Echo. STEP BY STEP that I shouldn't even have to mention:

1. Right under my post there's a link called "Download DSL 2.1 (Ready to go). Click it.
2. When the box pops up, hit "Save" and put it on your DESKTOP.
3. Download WinRAR (http://www.liutilities.com/products/campaigns/vendors/rarlab/home/)
4. Open up the DSL 2.1.rar. Drag the folder from inside of it TO THE DESKTOP.
5. Open up the folder, and click Robot Arena 2.exe.

If it doesn't, you might want to consider some basic computer courses.

Use 7-zip instead of WinRAR. Free. Open-source. Fast.

The WinRAR free trial never expires. Its supposed to work for 60 days and I have been using it for 2 years. Just whenever I click on a certain thing it tells me to uninstall it but I don't ever need to click on that thing XD
