Swype Keyboard for Evo Installation Problem:

Installing Astro File Manager is easy. But when I'm attempting to download evo swype.apk, it doesn't work. I can open up Astro File manager to show my downloads, but only a .bin file that's 1.77 mb in size is being downloaded.

Do you have any ideas how to get past this so I can actually download the Swype keyboard onto my Evo?

I downloaded Swype from [URL removed].

I am not a part of the official beta. I learned about Swype from a buddy of mine that owns an Evo and recommended that I get Swype from 4shared.com. He couldn't help me with this problem which is why I posted it on the Android Forum.

Do you think I'll have better luck attempting to download Swpe from a different source? If yes, what site do you recommend?
