Default Problem Downloading MSN Messenger For Mac

Ok, I am as well having a problem downloading MSN Messenger.. However, I have a Mac version. I found it online 3.5 it dl'd fine, but then it says i need the updated version in order to run it. but it dl's as a .bin file... If anyone is familiar with Mac's, could you please inform me on how to open a bin file?! when i click it, it only makes a copy. I've heard something about having to burn to cd or something in order to get the file... any help?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums, a Mac version is no good for PC, are you downloading from the Microsoft website, what error messages are you getting if it will not download.
