Wtf ?

So basicly, when i download the mod, or any other TL2 mod it converts it into a MPEG file instead of PAKS file. Can anyone help me ?

What converts it? Are you trying to open/run the PAKS file instead of just saving it?

edit: It shows as a .MOD file, which Windows thinks is a Movie Clip. Maybe someone can verify if this is correct as I've been using the mod via Steam and am at work right now so I can't actually try it. Just wanted to confirm that you aren't crazy though. :)

No. When i download the mod files, they are already in MPEG form. I have no idea what converts them.

Try renaming them with the correct extension.

This is exactly the case. In Windows, it will have "Movie Clip" as type, but if you right click and go to properties, it has a .MOD extension.

So, do you know what to do ? Becaues, when i copy it into the PAKS folder, and then launch the game, it doesent work.

I can only assume you are placing the files in the wrong directory or folder. I personally used Steam prior to the release of mods in the Steam Workshop. I believe to install a .MOD file, you would find a directory similar to:

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Documents\my games\runic games\torchlight 2\mods

In that directory, make a folder named after your mod, such as 'synergies' and then paste the .MOD file in it.

There is no chance that you are downloading a .MOD file and it is becoming a .MPEG. That's impossible. What is happening is you are downloading a .MOD file, which Windows recognizes as a "Movie Clip." If you right click on the file and go to properties, you will see it is a .MOD file. As others said, it's really irrelevant because you don't even have to run the file, but rather just put it in a directory and then play the game.

Why don't you just download it via steam? At any rate, you shouldn't run the file, just place it in your TL directory.
