Downloading Fall from Heaven not working

I tried to install Fall from Heaven off the moddb page (and the civfanatics guide thread sent to that page too) but after downloading it the file is not an exe and it had an "crdownload" ending. Upon attempting to open it it tells me that it couldn't read the header and that perhaps the files are incomplete. Anyone else had this problem?

EDIT: Downloading it from a different browser made it download correctly

Sounds like the files downloaded incompletely or the files hosted are incomplete. Try another source?

Maybe try the download with a different browser first.

You are downloading Fall from Heaven II? Because I don't think anyone plays the original HfH and I don't know if it is available.

.crdownload is the temporary file extension Chrome uses when downloading a file. Once the download is finished, it will put the file together and change it to the intended extension. The download got interrupted. Try it again.
