I just downloaded a nero burning rom, and it stays a .dat called download10783500276152556.dat

I restarted k-lite and nothing ahppens, how do i change this to what its supposed to be. I download movies and games all the time, but why isnt this changing??

Thanks in advance!

Either rename the .dat (both name and extension) or use K-Dat to extract data from a .dat file (right-click->extract data)(it has to be a completed download for it to work)

there is an additional possibility that it could be a fake file some dipshit released to fuck everyone up.

:huh: I think it's more likely that the extention just needs to be renamed.
It's not that uncommon that a .dat file doesn't change into what it's supposed to be after the download is finished.And usually renaming the file works.
But yeh,you never know...
