Good Luck.

There are 2 files. One called Brief.txt, which tells you what to do and one called Hardwire.usr, which is the user file you load in Uplink.
Ive checked the download myself and both files work.
I suggest to both of you that you try re-downloading the file.

Well, if you copied it to uplink/users and selected that user to load, it should work. If it doesnt, then its a problem on your end, because it works on my computerm, the testers computer, and a few people im talking to who have downloaded the challenge. As I said, try redownloading it and try again, or maybe reinstall Uplink with the latest patch.
