Try holding down your mouse button and choosing Save As Text, or whatever way your Browser allows you to save as text. Do not expand it on the PC, transfer the file to your mac and drop it on Stuffit Expander. It also helps to have the latest version of Expander, plus DropStuff with Expander Enhancer. Both are available from Aladdin Systems:
http://www.aladdinsys.com
"With Expander Enhancer (aka the StuffIt Engine extension) from the DropStuff shareware package, StuffIt Expander can open many more Mac, PC and UNIX archive formats. In addition, Expander Enhancer also provides native PowerPC code for Power Macs, increasing compression and decompression speeds significantly on PowerPC-equipped computers."

Hi, I tried downloading the software from Aladdin, but my mac does not recognise these files either, becouse he thinks they are PC files, I think.. Is my only option to buy this software at my local shop? ore is there anything else I can try?

Just down load the file.
Don't Un zip it or anything like that.
Netscape has those helpers Don't use them
Just want the downloaded file the way it first comes in
