[Vwdiesel] RE: Downloading Raw Archive

[Michael Snow]

Using latest update of IE6 on Win2K SP4.  I "right-click, save target
as" and downloaded it straight to my desktop.  Also did it with Download
Accelerator on the same system.  FWIW, Windows is *EVIL* and I only use
it to run ETKA.  It also downloads fine from Mozilla on RedHat 9.
