Thanks for taking the initiative MJ. I just tested your procedure and it works. Two major comments though: 1) After a short Google search, I found out that Mario Mayhem is hosting working download links for both PC and Mac. I confirm that the executable "Mario Paint Composer.exe" found in the .zip file for PC works. I cannot test the executable "Mario Paint Composer.osx" for Mac though. It likely works, but it would be appreciated if someone could confirm or infirm that. It isn't a bad idea though to offer additional and independent download links directly on the Hangout. If you still want to, please add the Mac version. The link on Mario Mayhem is www.mariomayhem.com/downloads/mario_paint_composer_download/index.php. 2) Your heart is at the right place, but... this is a unnecessary painful download setup for both you and the downloader. Even more, the files you uploaded are actually links to Mediafire which add superfluous steps to the whole procedure. I highly recommend simply uploading the original .zip files that are on Mario Mayhem. Once they're downloaded, all you have to do is to extract their content. These .zip files do come with a lot of useless files in the Xtras folder, but it's not problematic space-wise (approximately 1.30 MB of data). EDIT: Also, I feel this thread should be moved to the Mario Paint Downloads board.

I can understand the stress that one feels when starting something as big as college. Wishing you success in your studies! The download folder is much better now; thanks for that. Now, if you still have some time and motivation left, you could: 1) Edit your first post with up-to-date information. 2) Add the Mac version in a similar fashion. .rar files are fine, but by comparison to .zip files (which I prefer here), you need to download a program in order to extract their content. Maybe the RAR compression format offer advantages in this case that I'm not aware of, but knowing that the original files on UnFun Games were .zip files, I don't think that it does. If you aren't willing to make this change, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to mention at least one free program that extracts data from .rar files. I personally use 7-Zip and it's fine for my needs. There's also WinRAR, but you have to pay for it after the evaluation period... in theory.
