Well as you have probably guessed i own a mac. But for some reason my Mac will not download brushes from sites such as deviant art. It comes up with a text. Can anyone please help me. Is there some kind of setting i migh need to turn on?

Well, you CAN use the brushes, but problem is with MACs usually they only recognize .sit files and not .rar files.
So,
i would suggest to go to a PC off a friend DL it there, then unzip it there, put it on a memorystick, go home and put the brushes in manually in the brushesfolder.

Dont EVER EVER say, just a MAC rofl.
I've been a MAC-freek, long time ago,
my last one is a G3 (beige)

But a friend of mine has a dual G5 :)

Yeah, I LOVE mac... and now that that's out of the way... down to business.

There are programs that can extract RAR files for mac, UnrarX for example does this.

Also, you may want to check out Quicksilver if you already have it - it's the best invention ever! (Link is in my Signature)

lol
i got a g4 iBook and a G4 desktop... getting an intel mac very soon
nyway
its not the fact that it cant extract the zip... Safari (Mac internet Browser) has an automatic unzipping system for .zip and .rar
its the fact that when i click on the link that says Download to Desktop it wont actually start the download it will just go to a page filled with coding text..
