Exe files?

When I try to download the zips for BigPart Twrp and the wingray BigPart boot image, it downloads executable files? Why does it not just download the zip files as promised?

Exes

I tried downloading one and instead of downloading the zip file I wanted it downloaded EZ Downloader, and broke my Chrome browser. Why can we not just download the zip files required to change over to the BigPart repartition for xoom?

I made a huge mistake. I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 fine. Unfortunately I got distracted and forgot to flash twrp bigpart. Instead I skipped to the step where you wipe everything but the sdcard, and when I rebooted to recovery, the screen hung on the teamwin splash screen. When I did a hard reset and tried to reboot manually into recovery I get the motorola dual core screen with a message saying "starting fastboot protocol support", and it just hangs there. Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Disregard, I finally got it to boot back into recovery manually and went on from there.

Guide

9) Go into install. Recovery should show your microsd storage by default. If not, using the navigation panel, navigate to root then go into "sdcard". Flash your rom, BigPart boot image package, and any other resources as you normally would.

But I don't see the files on the memory card

from FAQ

Q: Followed the instructions for the re-partitioning. Everything worked except the Xoom cannot see the external sd card in recovery. I have re-formated it as fat32 and tried another card. When I view the files in the PC they are there. Any ideas?

A: Something something went wrong... Copy the data from the SD to your PC, format SD and put back data. Let's see if that works...

it doesn't work

upd:
another card is working correctly!

upd2:
no need to flash BigPart boot image package!

Motorola Xoom bigpart repartition touch recovery

Hello, never rooted xoom but want to so I can have KitKat. When I try to download original TWRP 2.6.3.0 touch recovery it takes me to a smut video. Do you have a link to the real file. Also since I have never rooted this device, do I have to do something else before I follow the big part repartition upgrade. Sorry very green about this.
Thanks!

Trouble with flashing BigPart to WingRay unable to wipe or mount data

I have tried a lot of ways of flashing the BigPart partition (TWRP 2.8.6.0 for BigPart) but it seems that every way I do it is wrong. I think I followed the directions correctly but every time I do it I either get a password request to login to TWRP or it starts up but says that the data partitions is not able to be wiped or mounted. Most times I can not select the data check box. Please help me figure out what I am doing wrong or tell me were to go. I really want to flash the 5.1.1 but I am getting no where.
