download problem and file size ?

Recommended Posts

Hello,Very confused now. I'm dowloading 744 F file for the second time. First time, I've got a 71 Mo .exe file and when I opened it, I just got a ms.dos style black window and nothing else. So I assumed the file was corrupted and I'm now downloading it again (speed : only 6 kb/s).I've read in another thread that the file should be a .zip one. So, my question is : .exe file or .zip file, and what is the exact size of it ?Thank you by advanceHenri

The .exe is inside of the .zip (which is the file you download). The zipped file is 71.9MB.After download, extract the exe and run it.
