i downloaded a show through antsdownloader and when i tried to drag and drop the show into the mkw compression tool box, it does nothing.
Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

try running the md5's and see what happens. right click on an md5 that came with the shn's and select verify. mkw should open and start verifying the shn's. see if that works.

also you are dragging and dropping .shn files into mkw right?

Since you're on WinXP you may also have to run it in "compatibility mode". Mine didn't work correctly without changing it to either "windows 2000" or "Win 98" mode.

i guess my problem is the fact that i dont see the .md5 files. All i see is the .shn file.
What am i missing?

the md5 files :)

they should be there, what show is it? There should be at least one file with a .md5 extension, and probably at least 2 ( depends how the md5 files were broken up during conversion )

Download them here ( right click, save as ) and put then in the show's folder and/or sub folder if necessary.
