what do you mean files? If you are running windows, you need to pay a little attention. On the left at www.gimp.org you will see gimp for windows. click that link, and you will be brought to another site that hosts GIMP and the GTK for windows - download both.

Install the GTK and then install the gimp.

You can install gimp on a thumb drive as well. www.portableapps.com has a portable version that does not rely at all on the GTK being nativley installed. GOOD STUFF.
