it may be called .bqy because you already have a file of the same name
in that directory
 
for instance if you already have a file hard/download/file.bqx
and you try to download another your comm program will probably rename the
file file.bqy.
 
Make sure there are'nt two of the same name.
 
then re-name your *.bqy to *.bqx, then try again.
 
if this *.bqy or *.bqx is binscii'd you must un-binscii it first.
 
you can tell if it is binscii'd by looking at it with a text editor like
teach or EGOed.
 
the gibberish that comes after the line:
 
sTaRTFilEStarTFilE
 
(I'm not sure about the capital letters, but you'll get it)
 
means that the file has been binscii'd.
 
use binscii to decode it and you'll have a .shk shrinkit file.
 
if you don't have binscii, you can download it from delphi, or genie,
or a local usergroup
