It's not clear whether you've actually managed to download the files or not

If you haven't, then please explain what's stopping you. Is the site down? Are the downloads not completing? Etc

If you have managed to download it/them, then please list what files you've managed to download and where you have placed them. Ideally, it would be best to provide some screenshots of the location that they've been placed it so that we may be able to find what is wrong.

As an aside, please try using some punctuation occasionally so that your point comes through more clearly...

Surely you can tell if a download is finished or not If it isn't, then be patient and just let it finish.

If it is finished, then tell us which files you've download, which versions and where you've placed them. Ideally with screenshots. If you're going to be so vague, then I can't really know how to help you.

Try pressing print screen on your keyboard and pasting the result in Paint.

It doesn't seem like the files are fully downloading. Besides, are you extracting them using winrar?

Yes, you need to download win rar to extract the download, then place them to My Documents - Sports Interactive - Football Manager 2014 - graphics, if you don't already have a graphics folder then you'll need to make one.

If you have them downloaded but your save game is loaded then you need to go into Preferences and then click the Reload Skin button and that should work.

First of all, make sure that the files download fully.

Secondly, you need to extract the files using winrar and then move them into the correct location as otherwise the game won't be able to read the compressed files.

Out of curiosity, what logos/kits/facepacks are you trying to download?
