Just a FYI, your download links in the blog don't seem to work in
Firefox 2.0

Since this is an URL like any other, this file download works exactly the
same (from Server's point of view) as other html/css/gif files (which you
get when browsing the site).

I can only guess that your problems with Firefox 2.0 are associated with
some new security feature in Firefox, which blocks EXE file downloads,
because those files could pose a security risk. It is a bit odd that you
don't have the option to override this, but I can put the file into a ZIP,
do Browsers don't see it as a security risk and you will be able to download
it normally. As for me, I can download the file using IE 6.0 and Firefox
1.0.7, the only "problem" I have is a warning which pops up when I try to
run the file. But after acknowledging that, the app starts normally.
