ok not trying to be mean, but last i checked, i'm not stupid :] i definitely clicked on the Mac link. i have Tiger as i said before, OSX 10.4, and these steps you outline are exactly what i did many times, resulting in only a windows compatible .exe file saving to my desktop. it even says, in the window that comes up when i click for the Mac download, that it is downloading a .dmg file, but it doesn't. no idea what is going on here.
