This is not the place for that. Please, post this on a subforum of the related server.
About your hacked account, change the password and check if there are any players defined as sitters. Also, if you didn't even see the attacks coming and if your population dropped (catapults) it's because it came from someone near you. Log in more often so that you don't miss those attack warnings.
As a sidenote, contact someone on your alliance to check the alliance reports. He'll tell you who attacked you.

Why download? I could do it myself... You probably have a weak password. Try to come up with a password with 8 characters, with lower and uppercased characters with letters and numbers mixed. A cracker would take years to get it. This is a bit off topic but I'd like to suggest something to remember your secure password. Try to think of some kind of quote or sentence and use only the initals of that. For example, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity" (by Einstein I think), this would give you "ottaituahs" as a password. Now you can use the first as capital and 2 as "two" and you'd get "O2taituahs". Advantages: - Easy to remember, you just need to repeat the quote in your mind - makes no sense at first sight so you can type it in front of anyone else watching the keyboard that no one will be able to memorize it - almost impossible to crack (at least in a reasonable time...) Thats how I got mine. Also, for those that log in at work, the password don't go encrypted to the server so it can be easily caught in the proxy server.

Completely off topic, sorry for that, but I couldn't resist!
Nice quote smig!! Here's an extra ending: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but we are not sure about the universe..."

if you need information from other clans hacking is a nice solution pretty dangerous I must say

I highly disagree. It is neither nice nor a solution. I consider it plain cheating and taking away fun from someone else. Also hacking is punishable by law, at least in my country. It is legally, morally and ethically more than questionable.
