Hang on, I’m struggling to figure out what the problem is.
Plug your iPod into your PC and open iTunes.
Click on your iPod in the devices menu.
Click ‘Check for update’.
What happens then?
Also, iTunes version would be helpful; click ‘Help -> About iTunes’ and it should tell you

You don’t rename the zip files, you extract them – contained inside them there should be the .ispw files

You should download the latest ones, 3.1.2.
They are on apples servers, it goes really quick, and IS in ipsw format.
