Help! - I try and download the SETI@home software and all I get is a web pagethat says 'use binhex 4.0 to open this file' followed by about 10 pages of crazy text. What am I doing wrong?

your web browser is trying to load the file as a regular page. control-click the download link and download the link to disk. or, if you've loaded the page, save it (as text, of course). you should end up with a .hqx file. use stuffit expander to decode the file and install it. restart your machine and you're almost there!
