downloading mods

[parone]

is there some trick to downloading mods? i tried, and there was no mod folder in my dom directory. i created one, then downloaded cbm into it, but tried to access it with adobe(i know, dumb dumb dumb).

this seemed to corrupt the dm file. so i deleted the whole thing and tried to re download. the computer seems to think it is still there, as it asks if i want to delete the original file(odd, as i just deleted it).

so i do. but then, when i go to the mod file, it is not there. sprites and item folder are there, but no actual mod.

been doing this for awhile. literally about to pound my head off a wall.

wtf am i doing wrong here, computer guys?
