    [​IMG] I want access to the special items available from the Special Edition CD. I've tried downloading the patch off the Sorcerer.net board and I've tried downloading the Shadow Keeper editor. Both come down as gobblelygook documents that don't unzip, not as files. What am I doing wrong?

    Every strange text symble the system can conjer. Trust me, it don't look like any programming language I've ever seen. Anyway, as I said, I try to unzip it, and it just opens it as if it were a Word document, instead of a file that contains programming language. Soooo, any thoughts?

    [​IMG] If you are using some downloading manager (like Go!Zilla) that might be the problem.

    Try to download files with disabled manager.
