Sometimes that link works and sometimes it does not work. Right-click and select Save Target As. Do it more than once. The first time I tried it I received the download applet. Other times I received the same message you received. It will work. We will fix it, promise.

Thanks for the heads-up and sorry for the inconvenience slashroper.

There's nothing wrong with the download script. I'm afraid its on your end slashroper, try disabling any firewalls, or ad-blocking applications that are conflicting with the download script.

By the way, if you do figure out what caused it, let us know! We need to build up a list of firewall/adblocking apps that prevent the download from working.

Sorry to revive an old thread....

I was having the same issue. Disabled NIS 2k4 and the downloads work correctly.

For the sake of experiment, I turned off the NIS components separately. The downloads only work fine with Privacy Control off. I'm guessing that this has something to do with cookies, and am wondering what the download script is doing which privacy control is intervening in.

Thanks.

it puts a cookie in your ie temp files that has a time bomb on it. without the cookie you cant download... ie if you havent visited the page you cant download the file.
