It looks like you might be selecting html instead of rar from the FlashGet checklist of available downloads, or it could be that the site you're trying to download from redirects to another html page rather than a direct download link to the rar file. They sometimes do this to prevent the use of download managers.

Before you start complaining about having to wait a few days for a reply, you still haven't replied to your last thread. I've been waiting for you to post since 2005!
