Thanks for reporting this.

I've tried downloading the files by left clicking on them with little success (it either times out or crashes firefox at the point where the java plugin initiates). However, right clicking on each file and choosing "save link as" worked for me, and should allow you to download the files.

Regards,

Andy

Left Clicking the file links will play the music in your browser, right clicking and selecting Save Link As will allow you to download the files.

Can you help with this problem?
