when you first come to this webpage and it says click one of the banners, i clicked one of the ones at the bottum, and i went to download a character and it told me to pick what to open it with, and i accidently clicked notepad. then, a window comes up completely in chinese or something, and it does that now with every character i try to download. can someone tell me how i can fix this? and show me the appropiate way to download a character? if you can, thanks a lot. :)

Right Click, Save Target As...
Then download WinRAR to extract RAR files or any other strange files. Otherwise, if it's ZIP, then use your computers default ZIP extractor

The Download link...
Or just click on it and it'll ask you where to save it
Unless if I understand your problem right, it'll suddenly open up the files in Notepad? (WTF?)

Hm, looks like most of those characters are in ZIP files. Now, let's say you want to download Sasuke. Under his picture in the site, there should be something that says "Download Sasuke" as a link. right-click on that and select "Save Target As..." onto the Desktop or something. Then since it is a ZIP File, extract it with your computer's default ZIP File Extractor
It SHOULD bypass the Notepad opening thing suddenly

If it IS a RAR file, you probably DID set the file default to Notepad. Download WinRAR or any RAR File extractor and install it.
Right-click on the RAR File and select "Open With..." and select WinRAR (Or if you installed it right, it should ALREADY be the default

i did that and when i tried to open it it said: "windows cannot open this file. to open this file, windows needs to know what program created it." then below that it says: "use webservice to find appropiate program" or "select the program from a list"
