 * I downloaded a theme from themeforest.net and tried to upload it, but got an 
   error.I tried to work with filezilla. I un-zipped the file and transfered them
   to FTP. After I finished transfering I got nothing on the wordpress.
    What to
   do? What did I do wrong?

 * I’m sorry but support here is not provided for commercial themes. So I suggest
   you contact the theme author.
 * Anyway, I can tell you to make sure that you are uploading only the theme folder
   that contain the theme files.

 * Hi,ensure that your theme files are in your root folder and that there is no 
   sub folder inside containing your theme files.
