    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.
    Never miss a good chance to shut up

    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...
