    Try using 'Google Chrome' instead of 'Internet Explorer' may help. What file are you trying to download?, i'll give it a test.

    Have you got both the 'Mods' and 'Components' boxes ticked in the Mod Manager?

    Also make sure the ' Working Dir: ' in Mod Manager is set to your root rF2 folder, and ' Packages Dir ' is set to where you put the package files after downloading them.

    You'll need to contact ISI Support about that I think, as they have removed the older mods that included the 1.2 versions of those tracks.

    Ask in the technical help or general discussion sections & see if someone still has the older packages available.

    If they don't then you might have to wait until IS release an updated version of the Formula Masters mod that's compatible with the v1.43 tracks.

    just another quick question is it safe to download other cars and tracks or should I only download ISI cars and tracks and wait until ISI bring the cars and tracks out to download?

    ISI will only publish their own work, not work from others.

    Its the modding community whom provide the 'other' cars and tracks, and more.
    As for safe to download and install, yes, this is what rfactor is about mainly, creating and using content from the community.

    I would suggest however to install things one at the time and check them in the sim before you go install other stuff. just to make sure things actually work.
