Hey guys I'm trying to switch all of my rigs to this OS and just tried to download the image from the website but when I click the download image button all I get is a new page in the browser opens up with a bunch of gibberish stuff on it and then the whole browser just freezes! What's up with that?

It sounds like your browser is reading the file instead of downloading it. Try right clicking and saving the file.
Indeed it was just reading it in Explorer! I've opened it in Chrome and it started to download just fine! Thanks for your tip!
