For whatever reason, I cannot download "Persons...". Each time I get a little computer-code page that is trying to tell me something about Stuffit expander. No download takes place. Anybody know what's up?

The person who uploaded the file must have ignored the instructions to binhex or MacBinary the files before uploading them. sigh

If you choose "Save As..." from the FILE menu, save the file, then drag it on Stuffit Expander, it will probably work -- but it would be best if the original author binhexed or MacBinary'd the file before uploading it.

No download is actually taking place. I get a new Navigator page with code all over it, and it is not the actual plug at all. In fact, this happens for the "Planets plug" and the "availability cheat" as well. The other plugs download normally.

I just want to note that I had no problems whatsoever downloading 'persons...'.

Something rumbles, far away...

Command-click on the link, and select "save link as..." or equivalent. You should be ablt to save the file - that is, the file that the link points to...

Andrew is absolutely correct. The file appears as the following Netscape text/code document:

I learn a new thing everyday, I guess. Thanks for the replies, all is well.
Cheers,

I am VERY sorry about this. I'll re-submit it with the macbinary encoding. Sorry again.

Where can you download the thing anyway? Its not on the EV addons page...

Well, since i downloaded it from the addons page, it has to be there.

Nope, its there. You see, I forgot to make it macbinary encoded, so one person had some trouble downloading it. So then I made it macbinary encoded, and then submitted it again. For a day both plugs were there, but now there is only one. It should be there LoneIgadzra.

Actually loneIgazra seems to be popping up the most.And do we have certain areas that we are more likely to appear in?
