That's strange, I can download it just fine with Firefox 1.0.1
Which version of Firefox are you using?

Are you using a firewall or an ad blocker?

Are you behind a proxy then?
Uninstall Firefox completely and reinstall version 1.0.1

Unfortunately, you can't download that file by right-clicking on it and selecting "Save as...". We've got an anti-leech system so you'll end up with an HTML file

Well yes it does still work though. I just downloaded it using the right click option. It did save as html (driverheavenpsbench2.rar.htm) but by removing the .htm extension I get a valid .rar file that open and extracts just fine. I dont have Photoshop currently installed to test the exe inside the rar but it all appears to be fine. (2,519,152 byte file)

Works perfectly in Opera as long as you have referrer logging enabled, it supplies the referrer for the website that you right-click from.

Renaming like Chaos did works fine for Firefox too.
