I cannot find the download link! My Arabic is terrible (I know the
letters, but not many words). I tried looking for something that was
phonetically similar to either "hered" or "horada" (download in
Hebrew) or "download", but found none. Can you link to the exe
directly?

I see that you are posting from a non-UTF-8 system (that is why I have
the alphabet in my sig, to catch this exactly!). You might want to
configure your system for UTF-8 before going any further. In a
terminal, please run the locale command and post it's output. Which
version of Arabic do you use (ie, where are you from)?

Happily!
