What do I have to do once I download the file?

Run your own server, read the guides.

[Nemean]

I just want to play again thats all. I dont want to run a server.

Then the files are no good for you, you need to wait for the ServerOP to upgrade. These files are for ServerOPs running the servers.

Ah ok, thanks a lot.
