    You're not an idiot. And, moved to the correct section.

    What does the text say? What browser are you using, and which roms are you trying to download?

    Right-click the download link and Save as...

    It should then work.

    Super Mario being 34MB? Which version of Mario are you looking for? I don't think we have any 34MB Mario games. Also, try using Firefox as your browser for this download.

    Well, in any case, the reason why you're getting text when you try to download is because IE is trying to open the rar file instead of download it.

    I haven't used IE in so long, I've forgotten how, but there is a way to set it so that it will associate rar files with downloading them, instead of trying to open them.

    Also, if you don't have WinRar installed, that could cause that problem (but I'm guessing you do already have it installed)
