Hmmm, regards your download problem, not sure if I can help you there. The Scenario file IS big, and if you phone-line / modem / ISP combination is noisy it might be causing you grief, I can try to mail you the zip file if you like, but that still has to come down your line in the same way. Mail me at Kestrel17@bigpond.com if you would like me to do this.
If you just want to see a Rules.txt you can download the "RealMove" add-on to Mod-Pack Unit-Mania.
Its only 20Kb and so may sneak through you line 'noise' window.

"How to Set up the files"
I just use Notepad or Wordpad to change the basic parameters in the Rules.txt.
And to create the Events.txt and modify the other text files.
I always found the FW editor somewhat limiting.
"Do I create a scenario file and where do I put it, do all the altered text files, etc go in this file?"
As far as where to put the Scenario files, they should go into a separate directory under your Test-of-Time directory (for example, if your Test of Time directory was /MPS/CIV2-TOT then they would go into a directory /MPS/CIV2-TOT/YOUR-SCENARIO which would sit 'alongside' the directories "Original" "ExtendedOriginal" "Fantasy" etc.
The folder "Midgard" in Test-of-Time is actually a scenario folder that illustrates this approach.
"Can you use Civ2 unit (icons) in ToT ?"
Most certainly. (I did for some of the non-vehicle unit icons because I find the Test-Of-Time warriors , horses etc. hard to tell apart) You will need a graphics editor program (such as Paint Shop Pro) to cut & pasted them into the Units.bmp file. (You will need to "get rid" of the other Unit sprites or be running the Test-of-Time patch V1.1 for them to appear properly however - See one of my "read-mes" for further details.)
Much of this is alluded to in the "Tips" document alluded to by Fast_Eddie
There is also an excellent guide entitled "Advanced Scenario Design" by Leon Marrick and Harlan Thompson - This can be found at
http://www.cyberaddiction.com/guide.htm
Test-of-Time seems to offer a whole extra set of "levers" that makes Civ2 mod-packs and Scenarios more customisable. Details of this can be found in the Forums Test-of-Time Sub-section.
See also Macro.txt in your Test-of-Time directory. (Best if you read it alongside some example Events files)
You can see also the Rules.Txt files (This is the main "Logic" file apart from the Events files that generally gets modified) at my Web-Site for some extra stuff on ToT which might not be yet covered in the SLeague_Design_Tips.
That is, assuming you can download it... Good Luck.
