Hi every body!

I'm new here as you probably have guessed looking at the amount of posts I've posted and desperate need of help.
I've gone to the downloading page of doom9. org, I've found the programms I want and my problem is that it refuses to download
Every time I click on the links, it turns into a leech html page. :(
And I didn't find anything on the FAQ page that would explain it.

Much thanks in advance,

Do you have a downloader like GetRight? Or "Star downloader" that I've just noticed in the logs?
Try to disable any external downloadrer and try again. (And feel free to come back with more info :) )

I am guessing you are behind some kind of firewall?
You need to disable the Privacy Control in case you use Norton Internet Security before any download.

I have Getright. But I also tried using the rightmouse save option. Still gave me a leech html.
I don't think it's the firewall. I let some other people with firewall try to dl it and some could do it and some couldn't. X.x Any more suggestions??? I've also tried mailing the admin of the site (about 5 days ago), but didn't receive any answers.

Since you're using GetRight, have you read and tried option 2 on the leech-page? The one that says:Go to Getright Configuration, under Advanced/Protocol check Send "Referer" in HTTP Request and then select Generated from the download URL.
