*cackle*

I eventually got it right with Lynx. The trick is this; any time you
select a link and get exactly the same page you've just been viewing,
hit reload. That'll bring up the page that should have come up when you
selected the hyperlink.

If I remember correctly, you have to do that for the last 3 pages before
you're offered the tarball.

Also, I had no luck with the US-East servers. US-West worked for me.

You'd think a bunch of folks touting a platform-independant solution
would get _this_ right at least. And believe me, I tried a _wide_
selection of browsers and platforms. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
