I downloaded a few videos and they are just file, and php is the extension. As an example the 612 Ferrari, RX8 videos from the forum. I downloaded the PHp files and at the end it says I need to configure my browser. It should be a program to run the video, not a browser.

I suppose you tried to use a download manager like DAP or getright.. they don't work with our script...

I use a different browser"Mozilla Firebird" with XP Pro as my OS , and it is a right click save to disk.

Dang, this is strange and sadly I only use explorer so I have no idea really.. when fishfreek will be online, he can maybe help you out.. that's the first time somebody report such problem... just curious, are the files the correct size as showed on the download page?

You cant play php files. Just click the download file button and let it save it to disk. Do Not use a download manager. Some work but most dont. Hundreds of people download every day with no problem.

NOt every file is .rar file type. HOw large is this file? if its less than 1mb then you dont have anything usable anyway.

I put the letters rar at the end of the file and unzipped it. It worked, thanks for the help, Steve
