OK, I see it does indeed take you to a MYHeritage site advertising Family Tree
Builder. Obviously they have changed the DNS routings to point to this new
product. What is strange is that the name of the page where you click to start
the download is www.familytreelegends/downloads but when you put that URL
directly into your address bar of your browser, the DNS routings will send you
to the Family Tree Builder pages instead.
But the real web page does indeed exist. So try this. Go to
www.familytreelegends.com and then click on the Downloads link at the top of
the page. Then click on the linked word HERE to start the actual download. It's
about 16 MB.
This was taken directly from the Features page:
-GEDCOM Import/Export/Merge - Full GEDCOM 5.5 support, with import &
export capabilities. In addition, GEDCOM files can be merged into an existing
Family Tree Legends file.
-Family Tree Maker® Import - Directly import all of the data & scrapbook
items from your FTW (Family Tree Maker®) files.
So try this second URL instead. HTH

The site you provided goes to a different genealogy software. Not only
does that software not import FTW it changes the home page.
