Firmware File not compatible

I have an iPhone 5 GSM a1428. I am trying to update to IOS 8, and I have the right file, and I know how to do it. Also I have registered my UDID to get the download. Whenever I hit the file of ipsw, there is an error that says the firmware file is not compatible. I have tried numerous things to get it to work. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!! I WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO WORK!!!

Gee Meg, do I have to chide you to?
While getting your .ipsw from a torrent or some "developer" who sells them is stupid and pretty much guaranteed to cause migraines it is not illegal. It can't be a theft as the cost of the upgrade when it is released is free.
It is a license agreement violation by the "developers" who sell and post these out on the internet and Apple can go after them (and I hope they do) the person buying it or downloading it has not violated anything.
Since this person registered their phone sounds like they are a developer and you wisely steered them to that site.
