i've just registered and in this forum i can login (i'm typing this with my account), but in this page https://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/getfile.php?file=Li9Db21tb2RvcmUvQW1pZ2EvV0hETG9hZC9HYW1lcy1XSERMb2FkL0FsYWRkaW5fdjEuNV9BR0FfMDQyMC56aXA=
i have the status "guest"
if i type my login and username in the download page, it is said that login or password is not correct
is it a bug or is there something i have not done correctly?

It may also be possible that your password contains symbols or characters that are not being recoganised. Please change your password to something strong that has capitals, numbers and more basic symbols like / - # £ etc

the symbol used is "&" and it is recognised since i can login with it in the forum (and i can write this post because i am connected).
if i load and refresh the rom page i am a guest and my login/password are not accepted.

see screenshot

I suggest changing your password anyway, just to see if that works.

it is done with a password that has only letters and numbers
now it works, so there was a problem with the "&" character

now the problem i have is that the archive doesn't contain .adf file.
usually amiga files have adf extensions. if i rename the disk.1 in disk.adf it doesnt work

There are several Amiga sections including a complete ADF collection. Go to this link to download them. If they are in ZIP format remember to decompact them 1st.

yes i was talking about the file/rom i linked at the beginning of this topic.
when i decompress it, i find different files but none of them has an adf extension.

Sorry, I went and downloaded that file and I extracted the ZIP to a LHA file. This is a pain but the LHA file extension is also a compressed file which you will need to open again in order to extract all the file within. If you are using ZIP or similar, just choose to open it again using the same zip utility and it should open up.

and you have found adf files inside the LHA?

i have not told it at the beginning but yes, it was what i have done. when i said that i decompressed it, i have also decompressed the LHA
but i have not found adf files inside.

The images inside that particular download are for WHDLoad, you most likely got them from that section of the Amiga Roms. Try looking at these various versions of Aladdin.
