cant download???

im getting really frustrated because i have no idea whats going wrong! i downloaded swtor to my pc and it ran, but eventually crashed because it was just too much for that old hunk of junk. so! i went to download it on my mac, which can run programs like this.. i downloaded it from the website, it extracted, and then,....... NOTHING!! it won't download! just extract! i have 6 folders of useless swtor that just WONT give me the application!  i even moved the version i had on pc to mac and it did the same thing. i updated java. i checked the firewall but there isnt even an application on the computer to allow. 

tldr: 

> downloaded SWTOR setup from the website

> it extracts very quickly, plops a folder in my downloads

> folder doesnt have an application??? theres no launcher, no application anywhere. it just extracts

    Swtor was only designed to be used on a Windows computer and they never released a Mac version of the launcher or game files.  There may be a way around it, see the following article on someone who got the game to work on a mac here

    Other then that there is no official support for Mac since they never designed for it.

    If you have a Windows PC that you want to try, use the help article and link found here to check your requirements
