Best is to put OSX in the search title. Unfortunately the osx search platform in the search type does not separate them as one would hope.

Mac files will be stored as .dmg, .zip, .img ...

Thank you!

i'm still confused. i downloaded a rar file but can't open it. are you saying that i need to change part of my computer to a windows computer to open it

No, you are just downloading the wrong type of file from what I understand. I had .exe files that were meant for PC not my Mac.

how can i tell what type of file to download?

This is what I went by.

does it have to say osx in the title?

i found a program with osx and zip in its label, but when i tried to run it, the setup said .exe is it just labeled wrong or is there another way around it?

I had the same issue and just assumed that it was labeled wrong.

Is my guess too. May well be auto spammed result giving out windows virus or something. Size is one of the important factors if you know approximately how large the file should be.
