this may be a dumb question, but did you decode them?

I don't think I decoded them, I don't know how to do that and yes they were finished being downloaded.

the files are in .flac format.  You need to get a program that will decode the flac files into wav format.  Flac Frontend is the most popular choice for this.

you put the flac files in the little window, select where you want the outputed wav files to be sent, and then click decode.  Simple as pie
