If I click "Download" for "Windows/Mac", the download begins and runs fine. On my Mac, the Flash support in Safari has no problem playing it. I've not tried using the Linux or other flash plugins on FreeBSD recently, and as a result I get fewer crumby ads. :-) Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge > Dillo I dont see how to start download. > Mosaic I dont see how to start download. > Amaya I dont see how to start download. > Chimera "Could not load the first document because the document did not exist or the URL was incorrect." > Amaya reports parsing errors (but log empty) (but that an old > binary based on 6.1 tree, lib problem not impossible) > Kazekahase First browser I tried that shows frames & enormous > empty frame with > "Click to download a plug in" > Which when clicked does nothing. > Finally one's eye finds a small download > button off to right & download starts for > 14516e2c0a7543a1.avi.avi.part > >>> This is the same talk I've given previously at EuroBSDCon, AsiaBSDCon, >>> UKUUG, and LinuxForum in the last six motnhs; it's significantly enhanced >>> from the version that I gave at BSDCan last year (the first time I gave it). >> >> Nice one!
