Downloads
 

Well, I figured it out.

It has nothing to do with reloading pages or similar. The Mozilla Thunderbird browser does not understand how to download the program properly. It would seem to be a limitation of the web page setup or the browser. I have downloaded many files using this browser, so I have to blame the web page.

I refuse to run Internet Exploder, unless I really have to.

well ! this cool! how the hell did you manage to browse with the Thunderbird?? :))
I use the mozilla FIREBIRD (known in the past as "phoenix" and i had no problems so far. I suggest you check your java & javascript properties of the browser
and ,no offence, but if you really used mozilla thunderbird for browsing,pls, share the info on how can somebody do that :))
