what do you mean with "you cant find and save it"?
a selfextracting archive is like a normal archive but lets you choose the location you want to extract the files to, and the readme tells you where to extract them

I think I know what the problem is. All .exe files download as unknown file types from filefront with the .exe missing... all you have to do is type in .exe at the end of the file name and then it should extract.

A lot of people were having that problem, I think it could depend on your browser but I'm not sure.

I used IE7 first and then I upgraded to IE8, and then I switch to firefox, but now I use opera.
