I went to the mac using safari and that worked.  Firfox on the NT4 box,
Ubuntu8.04 and even Ubuntu 9.04 however clicking the down load button 
was a do nothing from Firefox.

I have a massive abount of stuff I've downloaded form locations like that
(also oak.oakland, Simtel and ..)  and when I send people to the location
it's not there anymore so it's fortunate I have the downloaded image.  

The nastiest things is a the cases where Geocities was consumed and material
lost and later AOL hometown.  the best example si try to find P2DOS, used to
be on simtel and Oakland to name a few now mostly dead links or not at all.
