Nothing to do with the browsers - I downloaded the file with IE,
Firefox and, out of curiosity, a "browser" I wrote quickly so I could
see the actual data flow back and forth. What DIDN'T work was a
couple of download managers. The link isn't to a downloadable file,
it's to an invisible page that autosends the file to you - causing
your browser - if you don't have a download manager screwing things up
- to do what it's set to do with exe files, which is normally to
download them.
