This is a free site. To generate ad revenues, I suppose, they make those zip files available through multiple clicking, so as to eliminate direct linking. And who can blame them.
Using Firefox, I am able to download the zip files after exactly clicking on the page you mention twice, pausing between clicks until the page loads. I think they set a cookie or something and then test it is there. Using IE6 the matter is more involved. I have to click that link on the page you mention and when my download accelerator starts (that was a zip file download remember?) I redirect the download to the browser because the download is actually a HTML page. This I had to do probably three or four times until I was presented with IE's Save dialog. I am sorry for the trouble, but this is something we need to live with for now and which I cannot fix without relocating pyMinGW. Regards Khalid -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
