How do I idownload games software?
 

I'm a complete newbie to linux and started out wiith the idea of setting up a p3 800 as a game server for use on my home LAN. I've installed linux with server features but am unable to work out how to do a simple thing like download the linux version of Enemy Territory. I'm trying to download software using mozilla 5 but end up with a page of script, - not an executable program. Where am I going wrong?

it's driving me nuts....

if you right click then save as it should work, mozilla/firefox has problems with this on videos and mp3's sumtimes i have noticed.

edit: also what is the file type u are dl'ing some of the files you down load are the source and you gotta compile.

Thanx for the info... I've tried the right click method but it seems to be source code that's downloading ( Enemy Territory game software) it appers a text and symbols in the browser.

How do I compile this to run it?

hmm if its just stayin in the browser, i dunno, usually that is when the browser misinterprits<sp?> the fact u wanna dl a file and goes to the file and shows what makes it up. if you post a link maybe i can see.

try to find where you can download this as the file itself. what mozilla is doing is getting the "source" ( its actually a binary and script all tied together, it is what you want to play et). look for a different mirror to download from, as with this method it's a pain in the a$$ since you have no idea how far along the download is or how much longer you have to go
