If you're running on a Mac, you need to download PackFix from
UNNA. Once it's installed, make an alias to the program somewhere
easily accessible. Any package you download from UNNA needs
to be dropped on the PackFix icon first, which will automagically
reset the creator and file types. Then, NCU should play nice.
