Forge not downloading on ad

I first tried to download forge by clicking latest(1.15.2) installer, taking me directly to the ad page, but the page won't load, and I can't get the download file. I then tried a direct download but that didn't explain properly how I should start it.

 

sorry if I'm inconveniencing too much with a minor problem.

If you used the direct download you should have gotten a Jar file. You just need to run it.

I got a file, was I suppose to not extract it with winrar? When I did, I got a couple of files with it, I'm unsure how to start a launcher for all of it.

 

If there's another link that could show me how to run it, perhaps where someone may have run into this problem, and you showed them how to run the download(s), that could work too.

If you have Java installed correctly you can just double click the jar to run it.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

The thing is, there's no file that lets me run "jar". I can run and perfectly play Minecraft correctly, so I don't know.

 

The picture below is what the Direct Download gives me after I extract the file with WinRar. Btw I know that another problem is a bit of a hassle to fix but, when I loaded the minecraftforge.net website, it said I had adblocker when I don't even have it.

Don't extract it, if WinRar extracts it on double click then that's your problem, WinRar is naughty and has no business taking over the jar file extension.

Run this once and try again.

I tried it but when I double click on it, it keeps asking me to extract it. I'll read the website you pointed to me.
