I am upgrading a diesel using an original PS2 upgrade kit and am having difficulty downloading the sound file. Instead of the file downloading when the file icon is selected, a page of code appears. I get the same response with other PS2 files but not PS3. Switching computers did not help either.
Not my first time at doing this, but is a first with this issue. Is this now the norm or a temporary problem?

Just right click and select "Save As" or "Download As" from the context menu.
When I do that it shows as a text document in the file folder even though a .mth is on the file. The dcs downloader will not recognize this.
Thank you for your help btw!
Ignore what Windows thinks it is and just point the DCS loader at the file, it'll know what to do with the .MTH files. If it has a problem, you may have to reinstall the DCS Loader to get the file extensions corrected in the registry.
Thanks! I'll give it a try.
Yeah, +1 to what @gunrunnerjohn said. Files in Windows will only work when you click on them if the correct file handler is configured to point to an application. Sometimes, an extension is already registered to an existing application. That said, it won't affect how it works when you open the file from within the application you want to use it with, in this case the DCS loader.
Right clicking the icon yields the following. No "Save as".
If I click the file & save, it saves as saves as a .txt file which the DCS loader will not recognize.
Mystery solved!
The key is to use "Save link as", which I assumed would not apply.
Thanks for the help & special callout to Jeff Nelson at Mr. Muffin's Trains for the breakthru guidance.
Sorry about that, I was going from memory. I should have gone and tried it to get the exact wording.
