Is the extension on the file you download .suite or .zip? If it's a zip( and some browsers change it to zip from .suite) you just need to rename it and then doubleclick on it and it will install.

What version of Theme Manager are you using?
Suite files are really just zipped files. There's the preview image, an icon, a read me, and a very important winstyles.ini file.
That file has all the urls for the other componants as well as descripotions of same.
ThemeManager extarcts what it needs on the fly and off you go.
Save a suite to your desktop instead of opening on the fly. Maybe the 8.suite suffix isn't making it. Once you have it downloaded, open ThemeManager and go File |Open. Browse to where you saved it and see what happens.
